Which LOTR edition is best?

I got an email from my sister who is looking to buy a set for her boyfriend. This is the email she sent me.

I've been doing some research, and it seems like the LOTR dorks like the Leatherette Edition better, but I think the Alan Lee Illustrated version is better.
Check them out at Amazon.
I'm gonna get him The Hobbit and LOTR.

Alan Lee Edition
Hobbit - 0395873460
LOTR - 0618260587
Leatherette Collector's Edition
Hobbit - 0395177111
LOTR - 0395193958

I went by Barnes & Nobles to look at them. The Leatherette one was beautiful. But the Alan Lee one had nicer print, and amazing art work.

Maybe you can post a question on DVD Talk and see if people have a preference.



So since she wanted your guys advice, you got any?

thanks.

Here's what I tried to post in the other one, complete with gratuitous insult:
Take it to Book Talk, n00b.

The Leatherette Edition looks nice, but that Alan Lee artwork is simply gorgeous. I'd go with the Alan Lee edition.

I have the leather edition of the Hobbit, the Alan Lee LOTR, and the Alan Lee Silmarillion for trade if anyone's interested.
