London: George Allen and Unwin, 1966. First Edition. . Hardcover. Good/Good. Allen and Unwin. all 1966 2nd edition, 1st printing. 1966 was the first printing of the second edition produced for copyright reasons for the Ballantine paperback license problem.They needed a new edition. The 1966 edition failed to make all the correction Professor Tolkien required and he insisted they re-print them immediately for 1967. Thereafter we see most of the key text changes and it remain as we see them today. Both the first and second printings are must-haves for any collection. They later printings were just re-prints and not as important as far as content corrections. This set is a mixed set, each title acquired separately so the wear is different on each book and jacket. FotR and RotK are very nice, TT could use a replacement jacket as all the edges are badly scuffed. All books are well read and worn, with TT having old damp spotting to cover. Overall, a very affordable set of the now rare first… Read More

Minor scuffing to some edges, spines colours slightly faded, covers bright. Pages yellowed, read many times. FotR has the remains of a owner's bookplate to inside cover, partly pealed off.

Near fine jackets with no tattering or serious marks. Some minor blemishes. Spines are not too discolored which is unusal. FotR has had some minor repair, not restoration, to the spine head.
