Couldn't enlarge the photo to read (but have one of these somewhere).

From memory (may be wrong) it is promotional leaflet/booklet issued with the 2nd Edition of the Lord of the Rings in 1966

Could you scan it and post it here?

I'll root it out when I get home later today and see what I can do.

I've got one of these. Not at home to check, but my booklist says 1966.

Here are the photos.

The leaflet mentions the 3 volumes of the Lord of the Rings at 25s each - so this must be the 1966 Second Edition.




Also I had a GA&U promo letter filed with this leaflet (I think I purchased the leaflet and letter together). The Letter mentions the publication of Smith & Wootton Major in November - so this dates the letter to 1967. Whether the leaflet and letter were issued together:- Not sure on that one.



Anyway, 1966/67 seems to be the timeframe.

Thanks

A fun thread to reinvigorate, with my latest acquisitions. Anyone else found more adverts in the last decade (!)?

I have a large poster which goes with this promotion, it is not a very exciting poster though.

That must have taken them about 5 minutes to knock up, Tolkien was selling so well that they could just really put his name on the poster

I found this just the other day in a second edition, second impression Two towers from -67.
