Book Description

London: George Allen & Unwin, Ltd.. 1954, 1955. First. Three volumes. Each volume is a first edition, first issue. All three volumes are fine and bright. All in original dustwrappers, the red lettering on the spines is slightly and uniformly faded. Slight and nearly invisible restoration to the extremities of the first volume, else fine with no chips, tears, owner names, or price-clipping. Each volume housed in a separate, uniform custom cloth chemise and gray quarter-morocco slipcase. Probably the most beloved fantasy, and easily one of the most important novels of the 20th Century. Recently discovered by a new generation, in part due to the award-winning film trilogy by Peter Jackson. Mixed issue sets, made-up sets employing wildly divergent-condition of the individual volumes, and rebound sets abound, but first issue sets in uniformly nice condition remain exceptionally scarce and desirable.
