I'm curious to know (if possible) how the damaged text on p281 of the 1st impression of The Return of the King (the gap in the middle of the last word, 'Me n') matches up with the p49 variations. I have two copies, one with undamaged text and no signature mark on p49 (and a first state jacket) and the other with the damaged text and signature mark. Neither show the gap in 'Men' on p281. Anyone have a little more info on this?
