Item description from seller

The second revised editions of Tolkien's groundbreaking series following the Fellowship's journey across the wonderous land of Middle Earth. The second revised edition of The Lord of the Rings, the iconic series written by father of modern fantasy J.R.R. Tolkien. The complete trilogy. The ninth impression, with the second revised edition first published in 1966, and the trilogy originally published between 1954-1955. In the publisher's original cloth, with Towers in the original unclipped dust wrapper, and Fellowship and Return in the original clipped dust wrappers. Each volume contains a folding map of Middle Earth to the rear, sketched by his son Christopher and finalised by Pauline Baynes. Arguably the greatest series of modern literature, The Lord of the Rings is a heroic romance which has formed its own mythology. With the struggle of Good against Evil at its centre, the whimsical adventures follow Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship as they travel through Middle Earth meeting figures such as Saruman, Galadriel, Theoden and Gollumn along their journey. The second revised edition includes a new foreword in which Tolkien confronts contemporary thought on his work. In the publisher's original cloth, with Towers in the original unclipped dust wrapper, and Fellowship and Return in the original clipped dust wrappers. Externally, very smart, with minimal marks. A small bump to the head of the spine of Return. Dust wrappers are mostly bright and clean with the odd fading mark, mostly to the rear. Slight rubbing to wrapper joints and to edges, a little heavier to sunned rubbing to King wrapper spine head. Faint spotting to flyleaves, a little heavier to Fellowship rear flyleaf. Minor nicking to Towers wrapper spine head. Faint spotting to free end paper extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with minor offsetting to edge of final leaf and a couple of faint spots to verso of Fellowship map. Near Fine.
