The box shows some wear and rubbing to the edges, but has done it's job and protected the books for all these years.

All three volumes are in Near Fine condition with a clean bright edges, clean and bright textblock, and in Near Fine dustwrappers, showing no edgewear, rubbing or chips. A bumped corner to the Two Towers, else Fine. None have been price-clipped, and have all tipped in maps in fine condition.
