I have the 2005 edition, illustrated by Alan Lee, based on the 50th Anniversary revised text of 2004.

I read on a website that the ideal line width for reading fiction is 50-60 characters. That really seems to be true for me. It's not as enjoyable or engaging for me outside of that range.

Some people say it's 50-60 characters, others say it's 60-70. The 2005 illustrated edition has a line length of 65-67 characters. On my KA1, I set the font so it has around 55-60 characters line length.
