I'm terribly sorry to inform you that it seems that we will be getting an even more complete extra extended edition for the 25th anniversary, at least that's what Peter Jackson seems to be indicating in the commentary of the old extended edition.
The book is a good read, though The Two Towers drags a bit. I do wonder for people that saw the movies first, if you'll be as offended as a certain subsection of the fandom that just cannot understand why they didn't do a line by line recreation of the book. (Spoiler, it wouldn't have translated to film very well.)
I read the fellowship years ago and ended up in a situation where I had all 3 books but they're all different editions which annoyed me so I bought an all in one, the gilded pages and coloured maps and the extended glossary were all what sold me on the one I bought.
What?? You mean a 25 page description of a tree doesn't translate well to film? Say it ain't so...
