Wow, the Lord of the Rings trilogy books look badass, and the Silmarillion cover is stunning. Tolkien’s name renders beautifully in all-caps Hawthorn.
Here is a minor digital restoration of the Simarillion cover.
Yoad contributed a post that focuses on The Silmarillion (which isn’t part of Lord of the Rings), and also looks at the typefaces used inside the book. I’ve removed the images of The Silmarillion from this post, to avoid redundancy.
