Description

A collectible set of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic trilogy: The Lord of the Rings, comprising The Two Towers and The Return of the King, Second Edition, Third Impressions (1966), published by George Allen & Unwin.

These iconic volumes feature price-clipped dust jackets, which remain generally tidy with only minor signs of age-related wear. The jackets for The Two Towers and The Return of the King are in very good condition, while The Fellowship of the Ring shows some rubbing to the spine and a small tear to the lower fore-edge, graded as good. All jackets are now housed in smart, removable protective wrappers.
