1967, complete in three volumes, all first printings of the revised second edition. Black cloth with gilt spine titling, decoration to front boards in gold and orange (Fellowship of the Ring), gold and red (Two Towers), or gold and purple (Return of the King), the secondary color matching the color of the textblock topstains and the designs of their dust jackets.

The spines of Fellowship and Towers are cocked forward slightly; Return of the King is square. All three bindings sound. Dust jackets scuffed, edgeworn, slightly faded, and protected in Mylar; the jackets for Towers and Return of the King are about good, with chipping at spine ends and fore-edge corners, and a few small spots of staining to the front inner flap of Towers; the jacket for Fellowship is acceptable only, with a few scratches, a long closed tear across the spine extending half-way into the front panel, and larger chipping at spine ends and fore-edge corners, including loss to the publisher name at spine foot. Dust jackets are not price-clipped, with $6.00 cover prices at front inner flaps. Gift inscription penned to front paste down of Fellowship of the Ring; staining to upper fore-edge margin of the first two pages of The Two Towers (reflected from similar at DJ inner flap).
