Book Editions

The following tables show the full contents of the books of Tolkien’s Middle-earth saga. These are the “sections” into which I have divided the books for chronological reading.

Sections which are not used in this reading order have no section letters; the corresponding cells in this table are blocked out. Some of these sections include material that isn’t part of the story (like an analysis of the languages of Middle-earth), and others include short versions of stories that are given in more detail elsewhere.

The Old (6-book) Section column shows the section names for the old version of the reading order, created before The Children of Húrin was published. The Current (7-book) Section column shows the current section names. You may notice that several sections in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales are used in the 6-book version but not the 7-book ordering; this is because these sections have been replaced with the corresponding portions of The Children of Húrin. The Expanded (13-book) Section column shows the section names for the expanded ordering; see the FAQ for information on this expanded ordering.

If you have an edition of one of these books that I haven’t included, please email me!

The Children of Húrin

The following editions are included in this table:

Edition “a”: Houghton Mifflin hardcover (2007) and trade paperback (2008). I am fairly sure that the HarperCollins hardcover (2007) and trade paperback (2008) also have this same pagination, but I have not been able to verify this. The Del Rey paperback (2010) has the same pagination except for the Introduction (which is off by two pages), but since the Introduction is not used in my ordering I am treating it as the same.
Edition “AA”: Amazon Kindle electronic edition.

The Hobbit

There are so many editions of this book! I finally gave up and just used chapter numbers in the calculator, because there are only two breaks in The Hobbit, and they are both at chapter boundaries. But for completeness’ sake, I have included the following editions in the table on this page:

Edition “a”: Houghton Mifflin hardcover – classic version. This has only a small number of illustrations (black & white sketches by Tolkien himself). The ivory slip-jacket paperback has the same pagination.
Edition “b”: Ballantine paperback (1960’s).
Edition “d”: Del Rey paperback (2001).
Edition “e”: Houghton Mifflin hardcover – with Tolkien’s black and white sketches plus color portraits.
Edition “f”: Houghton Mifflin small black slip-jacket paperback, and larger hardcover with the black dustjacket (2001).
Edition “g”: Houghton Mifflin trade paperback (1993?), with the black & white Tolkien illustrations. There is at least one HarperCollins edition with identical pagination.
Edition “h”: HarperCollins paperback (1999).
Edition “i”: Houghton Mifflin fancy illustrated edition (1997).
Edition “j”: Houghton Mifflin fancy illustrated edition (1984).
Edition “AA”: Amazon Kindle electronic edition.

The Lord of the Rings

You can use the Chronological Tolkien system with either a one-volume edition of Lord of the Rings or a three-volume edition. However, if you use a three-volume edition, all three volumes must match.

Edition “a”: Three separate volumes: Houghton Mifflin hardcover, second edition (1965). This edition has remained in print for over four decades – the current version has movie photos on the dustcover but the same interior! The ivory slip-jacket paperbacks have the same pagination.
One-volume edition: Hardcover, with bright red cover, probably from the 1970s. If you are using this, be careful, since the pages count up from “1” three times!
Edition “b”: Three separate volumes: Ballantine paperback (1965).
Edition “c”: Three separate volumes: Del Rey paperback (1993). (I am missing four entries for this edition. If you have a copy and would like to help, send me an email!)
Edition “d”: Three separate volumes: Del Rey paperback (2001 and later).
Edition “e”: One-volume edition: Houghton Mifflin illustrated hardcover (1991).
Edition “f”: Three separate volumes: Houghton Mifflin hardcover (2002), illustrated by Alan Lee.
Edition “g”: Three separate volumes: Houghton Mifflin trade paperback (1994 and later).
One-volume edition: Houghton Mifflin hardcover and trade paperback, 1990s or early 2000s.
Edition “h”: Three separate volumes: HarperCollins “50th anniversary” paperback (2007 and 2012).
Edition “i”: Three separate volumes: Unwin / Unicorn paperback, 4th edition (1986). (I am missing four entries for this edition. If you have a copy and would like to help, send me an email!)
Edition “j”: Three separate volumes: HarperCollins paperback (1999).
Edition “k”: Three separate volumes: HarperCollins “50th Anniversary” hardcover (2004-2005, and boxed set 2014).
One-volume edition: Houghton Mifflin “50th Anniversary” edition, hardcover and trade paperback (2004).
Edition “l”: Three separate volumes: Houghton Mifflin “50th Anniversary” trade paperback (2004-2005).
Edition “m”: One-volume edition: HarperCollins illustrated hardcover (2014).
Edition “AA”: Amazon Kindle electronic edition.

The books listed below are used only for the Expanded Version of the Chronological Tolkien ordering. For an explanation of the Expanded Version, see the FAQ.

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

This book has been published separately and as part of several different collections. Fortunately, as with The Hobbit, there are only two breaks needed in this book, and they are easily identified by the poem numbers. So page numbers are not needed for the chronological reading system. But I give them here just for the sake of completeness:

Edition “a”: Published separately as The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Houghton Mifflin hardcover (1963), illustrated by Pauline Baynes.
Edition “d”: In the collection entitled The Tolkien Reader. Del Rey paperback, sometime in the early 2000s.
Edition “f”: In the collection entitled Tales from the Perilous Realm, expanded edition, illustrated by Alan Lee. Houghton Mifflin hardcover (2008) and HarperCollins mid-sized paperback (2008).

Poems	3 - 16	3. Errantry . . . song has faded.	24 - 64	211 - 251	191 - 242	FE

The History of Middle-earth

The Expanded Version of the Chronological Tolkien ordering uses five of the twelve volumes of The History of Middle-earth: The Lost Road, Sauron Defeated, Morgoth’s Ring, The War of the Jewels), and The Peoples of Middle-earth. So far, I have only found one pagination of all of these books, and I suspect that this is the only way they have been released, with the exception of The Lost Road.

Edition “a”: Houghton Mifflin hardcover (1987 to 1996), HarperCollins hardcover (1991 to 1996, re-released 2010), and HarperCollins mid-sized paperback (1993 to 1997, re-released 2002).
Edition “d”: Ballantine / Del Rey paperback (1996).

Edition “d” exists for The Lost Road, but not for the remaining four volumes used in the Expanded Version of the ordering. Sales in the United States were not high enough to justify a paperback release of the later volumes of The History of Middle-earth.
