The Children's Book Club edition using first edition, third impression sheets by arrangement with George Allen & Unwin. Allen & Unwin printed 1,509 copies of a third impression and a further 3,000 copies to be sold by Foyles. The sheets supplied to Foyles were unbound. The Children's Book Club edition was published with cheap simple boards, no map end papers and no frontispiece. Tolkien disliked the publication so much that no further Book Club editions were published. With thinner boards and war time economy paper there are few numbers of this publication to be found in a decent condition. Original yellow cloth boards with faded gilt lettering and lightly sunned spine. Single neat owner's signature to front free end paper, no further inscriptions or book plates. No foxing, stains or handling marks, text clean an bright throughout. VG+ to Near Fine. An excellent copy. Books are exempt from US tariffs.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
