Looking for the lord of rings 1987 box set

Also one of my favourite sets. They turn up on eBay (where I got mine) and Abe from time-to-time. I think you just need to keep your ears to the ground until one turns up. Last one I saw was in Australia - very cheap, but a bit tatty.

There are two variants of the box-set, based on either the Unwin logo or Unwin Hyman at the base of the book, make sure that you are looking for both on Abebooks and eBay.

You can see both variants in the pictures that you posted.

Guild publishing also produced a set with the same dust jackets. I don't know if they included a slipcase.

I've certainly never seen one, whereas I have seen to the two Unwin Hyman variants (the earlier - and IMHO nicer - Text and subsequent Logo).

[Edit: For clarity, I mean I have never seen the Guild versions in a boxed set]

A very attractive set.

Thanks for your tips and information Stu&Trotter, btw I'm in Australia and will keep an eye on Aussie ebay as well.

Yep, last one I saw was ebay.com.au. Had a tear on the box, but looked repairable and sold for about $20 IIRC.
