With the 25th of March being the date of the downfall of the Sauron and the fall of Barad-dûr, the Tolkien Society has for the last 11 years recognized March 25th as Tolkien Reading day.

Many online ebook retailers will offer steep discounts on the core books, The Silmarillion, and the extended Legendarium Histories as well as other books like his translation of Beowulf.

Kobo - steep discounts ($2.99 or less) on 30 books

Amazon* - Tolkien Page books appear to be same price as Kobo

Barnes & Noble* - Tolkien Page books appear to be same price as Kobo

* - I will update this link to a Tolkien Day specific page for this retailer if one becomes available. The have had specific pages in the past commemorating the day.

Seems like it's only in the Kobo US store :(

Please follow this instance’s posted rules of conduct.

This community is inspired by but not connected r/ebookdeals on Reddit.

Its purpose is for readers to share deals that they find on the web for ebooks through well-known retailers. Additionally, if you are an author and have an interest in posting a notice when you have a price drop coming up, please feel free to let us know, and we can include yours as well. Please avoid self-promotional posts without first contacting somebody on the community management team.

Spam, referral, shortened, and affiliate links are not allowed as this is not a community designed to allow members or mods to make money on their deal findings. Links must be as close to vanilla hyperlinks as possible for the retailer. Links must be cleaned or trimmed of tracking information or when posting or they will be removed.

Please limit posts to time-limited discounts of non-public domain items. Books that are at a permanently low price are great, but not appropriate for this community. The same goes for republishings or cleanups of public domain books.
