Description: Allen and Unwin. 1954, 54, 55 Impressions 1,1,1 of each title. A lovely set. Near fine jackets with no tattering or serious marks. Some minor blemishes. 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. Sliptext 4 on RotK. It's difficult to say, but with fairly uniform wear, these books could have been purchased as each title was released. 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. Please, serious inquiries only. 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. We expect new higher prices across all editions and printings the next two years, buy now. Note, shipping costs do not included insurance. We usually hand deliver high value items which is cheaper than insurance. If you have any questions, please email us.
