This listing is for the item described in the title and shown in the photos. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of literary history. This first print edition of The Fellowship of the Ring is an ex University of Adelaide library book. As such, it is in fair condition. Please note all the wear and tear shown in the photos, and the pages that have become loose at the back. It also has the borrower information card stuck in the back cover. There is no slip case and, overall, this is quite a fragile book. There is minimal dog earring and this would be a cuitable candidate for rebinding/restoration. In saying all of that, this is a piece of literary history. Arguably one of the most influential fantasy texts of all time, the added interest of it being an ex university library book adds to its charm.
