Allen and Unwin. all 1966 2nd edition, 1st printing. Now very rare. 1966 was the first printing of the second edition, but they failed to make all the corrections. Professor Tolkien insisted they re-print them immediately which is the 1967 editions. See my other listings. 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 typos. 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 to the title print errors on the jacket flaps as shown in the photo, one of the ways to identify a true 1966 1st printing set. If you don't see these, its not the 1966 first printing jackets. This is an exceptional set with just a little chipping to jackets in places, especially corners. Fading to jacket spine whites, but covers bright. Books are in read once condition with tight bindings and bright spine gilt. As good a set as you can now find. …
