Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit this is the first part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien’s own design the definitive text and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron the Dark Lord has gathered to him all the Rings of Power — the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring — the ring that rules them all — which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Part of a set of three paperbacks this popular edition is once again available in its classic black livery designed by Tolkien himself.

If you were to ask an average gadgeteer to sketch a telephone, this is what they would draw. Oh yeah, this is a proper telephone. It doesn’t have a thousand memories, it doesn’t do text messaging, customised ring tones or multi-megapixel photos, and it certainly doesn’t do slim-line or lightweight*. What it does have in abundance though, is telephonic style. Think of all those classic 1960s/70s Brit films and TV series; The Sweeney, The Avengers, James Bond, all those Michael Caine thrillers, they all used the classic dial telephone. When Life on Mars came out, the classic dial telephone was up there with the Mk.3 Cortina when it came to period cool. The classic GPO type 746 dial telephone was introduced to the market in 1967. It rapidly became a design classic and was still available to BT customers until the 1980s. Its robust and reliable design made it a universal favourite in homes and offices around Britain.
