From the bindery
The Two Towers
Info
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, rebound by hand in genuine leather by Pandemonium Artifacts. Choose this individual volume or the complete three-book Lord of the Rings trilogy. Made to order.
The lead photograph features The Two Towers. The gallery also shows its companion volumes and the joined spine artwork of the complete set.
Deeply embossed and sculpted cover artwork, coordinated spines, and hand-applied antiqued colouring give each book the character of an artifact from a well-travelled library. These are complete reading books, made to be opened, handled, and displayed. Each binding is made to order, with natural variations in the leather and finish.
A SCENE REVEALED ON THE SHELF
Stand the three volumes together and the spine artwork joins into one continuous scene: a winged Fell Beast and its Nazgûl rider above the city below. Each spine carries part of the image; together, the trilogy becomes a single sculpted tableau across your shelf.

COLOUR AND FINISH
Choose a base colour: Brown, Green, Red, or Custom. Write your choice in the personalization box; for a set, you can specify a base colour for each volume. Gold detailing and other secondary accents are chosen at the maker’s discretion to complement the artwork and overall binding. Selecting a base colour does not specify an exact accent colour or placement. For a custom base colour, describe your preferred palette.
INSIDE COVERS (DOUBLURES) — USD $400 PER BOOK
Carry the artwork beyond the outer binding. This upgrade adds leather to both the front and back inside covers of one book, with customizable interior artwork. Tell me what you would like those inner surfaces to hold, and we can discuss the design for your volume. The upgrade includes both inside covers of that book.
BOOKMARK — USD $100 PER BOOK
Add a bookmark to accompany your chosen volume. State any requested personalization in the personalization box so we can discuss the details.
CUSTOM WORK
Each book is made to order. Please discuss custom artwork, colour, and personalization with Pandemonium Artifacts before work begins. Photographs show examples of the bindings and finishes.
This is an independently created custom rebinding of an authentic retail book. It is not affiliated with, licensed by, endorsed by, or associated with the Tolkien Estate, Middle-earth Enterprises, or the original publishers.
SCULPTED DEDICATION PLATE — CAD $200 PER BOOK
A highly decorated sculpted dedication plate on the front or back interior cover. Include your wording and preferred placement in personalization. A dedication plate is an alternative to inside covers (doublures); a bookmark can accompany either.
OPTIONAL SERIES MASTER CASE — CAD $2,000
One master case for the complete series, covered in elaborate sculpted leather. Choose No case or Add book case. This is charged once for the case, not once per volume.
Selected interior upgrades and bookmarks apply to every book in the purchased set and are included in the displayed CAD price. The case is added once.
The optional master case holds the three separately bound trilogy volumes. For a single-volume purchase, interior upgrades apply only to that volume; Complete trilogy upgrades apply to all three. For different interior upgrades on individual books, add each volume separately and select Add book case on only one item if you want one master case.
