J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, First Editions Imp. 13, 10, 9, 1963 Set

  

A lovely set, as good as they come. Allen & Unwin 1963, 63, 62, impressions 13, 10, 9, with slipcase as issued.

1963 set, using up 1962 RotK which was quite common. The dust jackets are a bit grubby and spotty on the spines, but overall there is very little of the paper loss or stains to the covers as usually found. The books are clean, no lean, bindings tight, neat owners name to end pages. Though the slipcase has a bit of wear and owners name, as good as they come and now extremely rare in any condition.

By this time they were printing 300 slipcases a year for sales as sets, this case 1963 andusing up whatever impressions were still in stock. At the time the price of a set was cost probibitive to collectors. It's listed on other sites and being offered to our client base. Note- ou SLR camera packed up and a new one is on the way. Please excuse our poor photos.
