Item description from seller

*One of 60 with specific printing error*. Red cloth binding with gilt title to spine and a printed dust jacket. General wear to exterior, as shown, with some discolouring/fading to rear board. Dust jacket with wear to edges, some minor losses and a few small closed tears, slight discolouring and some marks. Top edges red. Pages are complete with folding map at rear. Pages are generally clean throughout, as shown. Pages 298 and 311 with printing error, as shown, creating loss of text. Quickly after publication of the first printing, because of the success of the book, new printings were ordered to satisfy the demand. While the printer kept the metal type standing for more impressions, he failed to do so for the Fellowship; when more copies were needed, the volume was quickly reset to appear identical to the original condition, but with no new proofreading done; as such previously corrected typographic errors were reverted and new ones introduced. Around 60 of them have passed through unnoticed even up to the 2002 editions. Pages 298 and 311 with printing error, as shown, creating loss of text.…
