Thank you and totally agree with you Mr.Underhill and surprisingly it is not so easy to find (the 1st print), even in Canada ?

Nice finds ShadowFx

Thanks northman ?

The post was kind to me yesterday. Not bad for 20 USD each from a dealer in Germany.

Unfortunately “Essays” is missing the jacket.

Great finds, at a great price. Love the "Feuille de compagnie n°3" ?... I m still looking for the "n°1" ?

2022 off to a good start

Glad you found that edition of Foster's Guide you were looking for.

Nice finds northman I always loved the dustjacket of the Foster edition

Just got this 1981 set of Maria Skibniewska's Polish translation, Władca Pierścieni. The back covers are just as stark and foreboding. In 1981, the Poles were under occupation by the Soviet Union, a Pole had just ascended to the Throne of Saint Peter in the Vatican, and a radical anti-communist labor leader was raising hell in Gdańsk. The Polish world was in the middle of a radical change and the starkness of these illustrations by Jerzy Czerniawski certainly reflects the mood of the time. I don't know that I've ever seen a better example of LOTR covers that speak to the mood of the real world in which they were published.
