Lord of the Rings Collectors Edition Early Rare 1st Print 1974 Tolkien

The Lord of the Rings - First Printing - Stated - Collector's Edition - 1974 - Hardcover with Slipcase - Beautiful. HMCO - Houghton Mifflin Company - Boston - 1974. Condition - Tiny little chip to top of spine (SEE PHOTOS) nothing major but there.... Apart from the top/edge chip to spine area...

Book is fabulous and certainly looks and appears unread... Text is fabulous close to pristine.... Again not entirely sure but appears unread.... Map as well does not look like it has been opened.....

Perhaps a few super light marks/rubs to covers, maybe but not much.... Slipcase has some light marks/rubbings/very light wear from years of storage....

A few light marks to base where it was shelved and stored for decades... Apart from chip (see photos) really a fabulous copy....

Might be hard to find a nicer one that's not sealed or never touched.. Not mint or brand new but very very nice.. Please See All Photos and Zoom..
