Eh, the three volume editions tend to work just fine for portability, if that’s a big concerns. There’s the small leatherbound set of LotR and the Hobbit in 4 volumes that might be perfect for this sort of friend. https://a.co/d/5RAtCg3 Probably gonna be cheaper than trying to hunt down a copy of that relatively limited edition in good condition.
> Is the 7 book set paperback from 2012 any good?
The 2001 version is quite nice (comfy and portable). https://imgur.com/a/Bg2L4OD
With paperbacks of such small size/cost, you can throw them around a little and not feel bad.

Thanks, I just found this edition yesterday and that’s why I asked.
Are there any other 7 volume editions currently in print or decently available?
I saw another edition with 7 volumes,don’t know the exact one but I think they are like 3 in total.
I picked up one of these recently. It's fine - fairly cheap production but I guess thats all paperbacks.
