PermaBound Ballantine Lord of the Rings

You are correct. One of the primary functions provided by Perma-Bound was to take paperback books and rebind them in hardcover. You can read a bit more about them on their website here:

They are just rebinding a book that already exists, so I don't think they have any copyright issues or have ever needed to ask permission from publishers to do this.

Thanks Urulókë

Your help is certainly appreciated!!
