J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings Set, 1st Printings of each Title- 1,1,1

  
1954, 54, 55 Impressions 1,1,1 of each title. Near fine jackets with no tattering or serious marks.

Spines are not too discoloured which is unusal. FotR has had some minor repair, not restoration, to the spine head. Looks like it was torn in two places, with slight cocking to Fellowship lettering. TT and RotK have minor paper loss in places, but no repairs. The books are cliean, no foxing, no marks, slight reading curve, and gilt bright.

About as good as they come. You are paying for dust jackets these days, not books! Finding books without restoration and reconstruction is also rare, thus the price of this set. We will deliver these anywhere in the world for travel costs. Watch our shop for more early and first editions in the coming months.

We have been a specialist Tolkien dealer for 21 years and we expect more books to be listed under consignment from our old customers as we near the new films and other activity in the Tolkien market.
