Good+ to Near Very Good. First Edition Trade Paperback Early 1976 interesting for it's time, but unapproved biography by the family published by a small American press to fill the need to know more. A bit like paparazi. 165 Pages clean. A bit of shelf rubbing at the spot where the ghost of a price sticker on rear cover was removed but otherwise Near Very Good. NOT a library book. Important for Tolkien completion and a bargain. See our Three Geese In Flight Book Scans for cover Edition and Table of Contents and soil mark.
