First Printing of this edition illustrated by Michael Hague. Not as common as you might expect and this is a decent copy. Green faux leather covers with gilt decoration to the upper cover (Tolkien's monogram) and gilt titles to the backstrip. pp. 290, with numerous full page colour plates. Corners slightly swollen, the block is lightly tanned overall but the binding is firm and square and the book is free from previous owner markings etc - VG indeed, even Near Fine. The jacket is unclipped but has a quarter-inch split at the crown. Rubbed with loss of laminate at the corners. One or two other minor gashes to the laminate and tanned along the upper and lower edge of the flaps. Nevertheless, better than it probably sounds, Good to VG.
