Tolkien, JRR: Lord of the Rings Trilogy HB/DJ American 1st/1st&2nd (Rev ed'67). Tolkien, JRR: Lord of the Rings Trilogy HB/DJ American 1st/1st&2nd Revised ed. 1967 Publisher: Haughton Mifflin Co, (c) 1966/1967 This is the complete set of Tolkien's (sometimes misspelled Tolkein) penultimate fantasy, "The Lord of the Rings". This is the revised edition; it was produced in response to Ace publishing a non-licensed set of "The Lord of the Rings" in paperback.

This is a mixed set of editions. "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a second printing, "The Two Towers" is a first edition and "The Return of the King" is a second printing.

The condition of these books is as follows: The Fellowship of the Ring This book is a nice copy. It's a VG/VG+ in a VG/VG+ dust jacket. The map in the back is attached and in great shape. The clipped jacket is in VG/VG+ condition with a couple of very small missing pieces and creases. The jacket has some mars and scratches.

The Two Towers This book is a nice copy. It's a VG+ in a VG+ dust jacket. The gilding on the covers is intact and quite nice. The clipped jacket is in VG/VG+ condition with a couple of small missing pieces and creases. The jacket has some minor mars and scratches. The Return of the King This book is a nice copy. There is no writing or marks in the book. The binding is straight and tight. This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy.

The back of these books does not include the square embossing indicating a book club edition. The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale.

Pictures are NOT stock photos. "First" thus refers to the first printing of a new edition of a book. TPB refers to a trade paperback edition. Trade paperbacks are ovesized paperback editions. PBO (Paperback Original) means this ia a first edition first printing paperback, which is also the first time this book was published (the true first edition of this book).

MINI GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing condition, I'd like to tell you how I grade the types of collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good).

I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions range from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN. You may be interested in our other listings.
