Picked up the Lord of the rings trilogy awhile ago, but it wasn't till recently i noticed the bizarre page numbering system it has.
First book makes sense. Starts on page 1, ends on page 407.
But then the second book starts on 413, ends on 744.
And then finally the third book starts at 747, ends on 1031 but also includes an extra 145 pages of appendixes and an index that has page references for the first two books.
Why?
Why not just include the relevant appendices and and an index in each separate book?
