"SET IN 11 POINT BARBOU LEADED I POINT WITH LIBRA FOR DISPLAY" "AND PRINTED BY W & J MACKAY LIMITED ON GUARD BRIDGE SILVER CITY PAPER" "BOUND BY W & J MACKAY LIMITED IN QUARTER BASIL WITH SCHOLOCO COLORETA CLOTH SIDES" "BLOCKED WITH A SPECIAL DESIGN BY JEFF CLEMENTS".

A Very Good Plus set of this scarce printing. The white or light grey leather of the spines, shows the lightest rubbing. This edition features the maps as endpapers in all three books. No names, inscriptions, or any marks of any type, in any of the books. Very likely unread.

A very nice set of first editions of this classic of fantasy literature. The set is housed in the original publishers slipcase, showing only the lightest of wear to the edges. All are very clean and bright, with no foxing, and with no writing or signatures.

Beautiful looking set of the 1st printing by the Folio Society.
