Description:
London: Betty Ballantine, 1965. First Edition. . No Binding. Fine/No Jacket. Barbara Remington. Betty Ballantine and now Barbara Remington have passed away making this a true historic piece. It was the cult status Tolkien first achieved in America on sale of millions of paperbacks, not in Britain, that would make him a household name by the late 60's. The Hobbit for example was not produced in paper inUK until 1961, Until 1966 his books only sold a few thousand copies a year, hardly a best seller. In fact the Tolkien society fan club first started in America, some five years before. Note, we were recently asked: we own the piece and as the seller, we left the letter addressed anonymously for the next buyer rather than to us. We are pleased to offer for sale, perhaps the most important original Tolkien related art piece. It is truly deserving as a museum piece representing a key turning point in the history of Professor Tolkien popularity. While Tolkien's own art was used only in the Hobbit…

Near fine jackets with no tattering or serious marks. Some minor blemishes. Spines are not too discolored which is unusal. FotR has had some minor repair, not restoration, to the spine head. Looks like it was torn in two places, with slight cocking to Fellowship lettering. TT and RotK have minor paper loss in places, but no repairs. The books are cliean, no foxing, no marks, slight reading curve, and gilt bright. About as good as they come. Sliptext 4 on RotK. You a re paying for dust jackets these days, not books! Finding books without restoration and reconstruction is also rare, thus the price of this set. Please, serious inquiries only. We will deliver these anywhere in the world for travel costs.

Description:
London: Folio Society, 1977. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Printing, Folio Society 1977 Set. This is the lessor of two sets I'm selling. But still above average. These are quite common to find, but usually the light grey spine 1/4 leather is worn/aged down to the brown under colour, instead of white, also pitted and stained. The gilt can be chipped also. This set still has a good spine, no damage to covers and pages. The cloth covers are generally in better condition, but can have very minor marks in places. Pages and binding are usually as new, unread in many cases The price/value comes down to the degree of wear and staining to the spine faux leather. This one is average. The slipcase has the odd mark, darkening to front edge, but generally found in good condition. This is an overall average set, thus the lower asking price than past finer sets. Though Folio, we beleive these sets will remain collectable compared to other book club editions. It may not be widely…

London: George Allen and Unwin, 1967. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Allen and Unwin. all 1967 2nd edition, 2nd printing. 1966 was the first printing of the second edition, but they failed to make all the correction. Professor Tolkien insisted they re-print them immediately. They had to produce a second edition (new edition) in the first place following the copyright disputes over the ACE editions. Thereafter we see all the key text changes and it remain as we see them today other than correction of typoes. Both the first and second printings are must-haves for any collection. They later printings were just re-prints and not as important as far as content corrections. Note, the second printings do not have the correction tot he title errors on the jacket flaps, one of the ways to identify a true 1966 set. This is an exception set with very little chipping to jackets. Some crease lines and minor chipping to spine ends. The spine titles are clear and white, often slightly faded…

Uniform fading to jacket colours, but no tattering to the paper on spine ends as often found. There are tape marks to the flaps and lighter on the spines which is unfortunate, but can't be readily seen when displayed on your shelf. Owners name in all three books indicate they have stayed together as a set. Books have tape marks to end pages, but no other serious flaws, gilt bright, pages clean I have indicated in previous listings impressions 7,5,4 or 7, 4,3 in all probability could have been purchase as a set of three titles in the bookshop of the day, some with the first ever slipcases.

Of all the first edition sets, this is the most scarce. We can only speculate why. 1966 was the first printing of the second edition produced for copyright reasons for the Ballantine paperback USA license problem.They needed a new edition even though they had released this set around May of that year. Jackets and books have uniform wear and tanning, only one owners name in FotR, so we can't say if they were purchased together. Various stains and small tears, but jackets complete and above condition. Books are clean and binding tight. A rare opportunity to add a unique set to your collection. First editions with complete unrestored jackets are disappearing every year.
