The Lord of The Rings First US Edition, 15,13,11 J R R Tolkien 1965 H Mifflin

The Lord of The Rings by J. Books in good overall condition, in less than good jackets. The set is made from separate books, rather than together from new, but they fit well together.

The Fellowship of The Ring 15th printing - Dust jacket has tears and loss to the spine and flap edges, the front flap is torn the majority of the way along at the fore edge, there is also a tear running down and across the spine, all held securely together by the paper backed tidy protective wrapper. Blue cloth covers, spine a little tanned, a slight lean, gilt lettering to the spine and front, securely bound, though with a feeling of having been read several times.

Front pastedown has a previous owners bookplate, pages otherwise clean and free from inscriptions, a little age toned, complete with fold out map at the back. The Two Towers - 13th printing. Blue cloth covers are tidy, some bruising to the spine ends and a small bit of wear to the spine.
