The Lord of the Rings being The Fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers; The Return of the King
Allen & Unwin, 1965.
First impression of the revised edition. Three volumes. Original red cloth with gilt titles on the spine, in the original printed dustwrappers. Top edges red. Fold out maps to the rear of each volume, printed in red and black, drawn by Christopher Tolkien. A near fine set, with just some foxing to the page edges, in fine dustwrappers, which are exceptionally sharp. A beautiful set.
The most significant edition after the first, containing extensive corrections, revision and additions by the author. These include a new foreword by the author discussing the writing and publishing of The Lord of The Rings, an extended prologue and six appendices plus an index.
"A number of errors and inconsistencies that still remained in the text have been corrected, and an attempt to has been made to provide information on a few points which attentive readers have raised." (Foreword)
