Book Description

Three volumes. First editions, first printings. All bound in the publisher’s red cloth. The Return Of The King is in the original dustwrapper. The Fellowship Of The Ring is in a second impression dustwrapper, and The Two Towers is in a third impression dustwrapper. The Return Of The King is in the first state with no signature mark and undamaged text on p. 49. A near fine set, generally very fresh. The spine of the first volume is very slightly faded, with a strip of fading to the upper cover on account of the shortness of the supplied dustwrapper. The dustwrapper of the third volume is very good, the spine a little faded and dusty, light wear to spine ends, crudely price-clipped. The two supplied dustwrappers are both very good, toned of spines, with a small tape repair to the second volume. A complete set of first printings of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings.
