Here is a boxed set of 3 Parodies: The Harvard Lampoon's original masterpiece (hem hem) BORED OF THE RINGS now joined together with A.R.R.R. Roberts' equally 'hem hem' worthy THE SODDIT and THE SELLAMILLION. From Wee to the Minty Mountains, from Goddam to Sollum, from Goodgulf to Gandef, two unique comic visions of a masterpiece of 20th century fantasy come together in one boxed set.
Bored of the Rings is, of course, a parody of The Lord of the Rings, and ;et me say that if you have never read this and call yourself a Tolkien fan, then I call you wuss! Here is an excerpt from the Prologue -
Concerning Boggies:
This book is predominantly concerned with making money, and from its pages a reader may learn much about the literary integrity of the authors. Of boggies, however, he will discover next to nothing, since anyone in possession of a mere moiety of their marbles will readily concede that such creatures could only exist in the minds of children of the sort whose childhoods are spent in wicker baskets and who grow up to be muggers, dog thieves and insurance salesmen. Nonetheless, judging from the sales of Prof Tolkien's interesting books, this is a rather sizable group, sporting the kind of scortchmarks on their pockets that only the spontaneous combustion of heavy wads of crumpled money can produce. For such readers we have collected here a few bits of racial slander concerning boggies, culled by placing Prof Tolkien's books on the floor in a neat pile and going over them countless times in a series of skips and short hops. For them we also include a brief-description of the soon-to-be-published-if-this-incredibly-dog-sells account of Dildo Bugger's earlier adventures, called by him, TRAVELS WITH GODDAM IN SEARCH OF LOWER MIDDLE EARTH, but wisely renamed by the publisher VALLEY OF THE TROLLS.and it gets better and better, holding back nothing, So join Dildo, Frito, Goodgulf, Arrowroot, Spam, Legolam, Gimlet son of Groin, Moxie and Pepsi, and all the rest as they travel over the Paper Mache Mountains in their quest of defeating the evil Serutan. Truly demented, some scenes sexually suggestive.
THE SODDIT or Let's Cash In Again ~ A HOBBIT PARODY
In grand tradition, this uproarious literary spoof follows the Tolkienesque adventures of Bingo "Sac" Grabbings, a rather unremarkable Soddit of Upper Middle Earth. He ventures forth (despite very sore and swollen feet indeed!) alongside Gandef the Coughing Wizard and a band of psoriasis-scratching, who-knows-what's-in-the-pipe-puffing dwarves, as they set out to relieve the haughty dragon Smug of his ill-gotten gold.
With the recent blockbuster box office success of the Lord of the Rings films, the time is ripe for someone to poke a bit of good-natured fun at the phenomenon that is The Hobbit, and this hilarious parody succeeds brilliantly. Written by A.R.R.R. Roberts, a self acknowledged expert on all things Tolkien, it both salutes and skewers the classic novel, reinventing the tale of a courageous little being whose amazing persistence - and more than a bit of Soddit luck -belies his diminutive stature.
THE SELLAMILLION ~ Despite its title, Sellamillion isn't a satire of The Silmarillion; how could it be? Though every one of the author's fans has a copy on the shelf, on the shelf is where it's stayed; almost no one actually managed to read past page three. The fun here lies in the parody of everything Tolkien created as he worked on his famous trilogy: the history of the elderly days. Early missing drafts of the novels. Correspondence between the writer and publisher on whether the magic talisman should be a Bellybutton Stud of Doom rather than a Ring of Power. And, most hilarious of all, an experimental version of Lord of the Rings in the style of Dr. Seuss.
Fans of Tolkien's original works are famously completist in their approach to his works, with a proven sales record for the individual titles this box set is the perfect addition to their libraries. Whether you love the original trilogy and (maybe especially) if you hate it, these 3 parodies will have you laughing non-stop!Each of these books sell separately for about $20, so you can save a bunch by buying them together here.
And as an added bonus, a small guinea pig can easily nest in the empty box...A physical description follows...NOTE: The founders of the Harvard Lampoon eventually went on and formed the National Lampoon, and A.R.R.R. Roberts went on to write more parodies of Tolkien's work...in case you were losing sleep wondering...

Regarding auctions, let me add that I've been collecting art, books, music and "stuff" (especially Tolkien ephemera) for over 35 years and have amassed an enormous collection with many, MANY duplicates. I am very picky about what I buy and In like fashion, I don't like surprises when I buy things from auction any more than you do so I promise everything I know about this item is in this description.
*This is a brand new boxed set of 3 hardcovers, never read or even opened for that matter. They are still sealed in shrinkwrap, which is good for the books, but bad for the guinea pig... Enjoy!

IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are bidding on more than one of my items and would like me to combine shipping costs, I will be happy to do so, BUT, YOU MUST WAIT until everything you are bidding on finishes BEFORE you complete checkout.

SHIPPING INFO: Shipping is only $3.85+$1.65 for insurance via media mail or $8.00 for Insured Priority Mail. International will be more. California deliveries will require 8.25% sales tax. PLEASE NOTE: Over the years, I have had a LOT of packages lost by the post office. Apparently their heightened security includes LOSING packages. Insurance is for loss as well as damage and as a result, I am now ONLY SHIPPING packages domestically, insured! Unfortunately, insurance is no longer offered by the US Post Office for international destinations.
Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, media mail CAN actually take up to 3 weeks to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it acutally arrives, making that feature pretty useless! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! International deliveries all go by Priority Mail and usually arrive within 1-2 weeks.
PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards with

Believe it or not, I get payments with no indication of what it is for and I no longer have the time to "research" them, so PLEASE, give me a clue!
