First one volume edition. Octavo. Original publisher’s wrappers after illustrations by Pauline Baynes. A fine copy, exceptionally bright, with the background to the spine still bright yellow and the lettering remaining bright orange. Very uncommon thus.
50,000 copies of the first one volume edition of The Lord Of The Rings were printed in 1968, but very few indeed survive in this condition.
