| Houghton Mifflin , 1955/1955/1956 1st Editions, 3rd imp./3rd imp./1st impression. An exceptional and lovely set of first editions of this classic of fantasy literature. The set is housed in a custom marbled paper slipcase to show and protect this beautiful set. The set is all original cloth with the correct original dustjackets. The dustjackets are all in Very Good Plus condition, with bright colors and only the slightest fading to the spine, each with a few chips and minor loss to the spine and edges. The Return has a large closed tear to the front lower spine fold area. The dustjackets exhibit all the correct issue points for the books, including the "stripe, cufflink, and gap" on the Two Towers; the photo of Tolkien in a 'V' on the Fellowship; and the oversized '5' in the price with double uprights in the Return. The books are tight and clean without inscriptions or writing, only a bookplate under the flap on the Fellowship, none are price clipped, and lack any foxing whatsoever. Besides being a truly beautiful looking set, this set is very scarce and collectable. The original maps are present in all three volumes, no extra folds or tears noted. Digital photo's available, inquire if interested. Other Tolkien books available, include both the UK and US editions, original cloth bindings, custom fine bindings, and Signed/Numbered/Limited Editions. |
