The latest catalog update from Lucius Books had these Tolkien related items:
THE HOBBIT or There and Back Again
Author / Artist: Tolkien, J. R. R.
Publisher: London: Puffin Books, 1961
First paperback edition. Original Pauline Baynes illustrated card covers. An attractive better than very good example, the binding firm and without tears, just a little rubbing at the extremities and light surface creasing of the spine. The contents are entirely complete and without loose, torn or creased pages. There is a tiny ink name at the head of the title page and some mild toning of the paperstock (as always) otherwise the contents are clean and tight throughout. An excellent example of this notoriously fragile production.
Price: £80.00
Stock code: 14371
THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Author / Artist: Tolkien, J. R. R.
Publisher: London: George Allen and Unwin, 1966
Second edition, first printing (the first revised edition). Three volumes. Bound in the publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to spines. Complete with original dustwrappers. A lovely fine set, each of the three volumes bright and square, the red top-stain without fading and the contents clean and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine original dustwrappers, non of which are price-clipped. A beautiful example of this important Lord of The Rings printing, scarce in this condition.
The first printing of the first revised edition with a new foreword by the author, a new dustwrapper design and the author's revisions to the first edition text throughout. (Hammond A5e).
Price: £1250.00
