The Return of The King : Being the Third Part of The Lord of The Rings

In Fine condition. Bound in full green morocco, lushly gilt-stamped on all sides. Raised bands on the spine. All page-edges gilt. Octavo, with salmon silk moire endpapers and a, sewn-in, matching ribbon bookmark. 440pps. There is a slight waviness to the bottom edge of the first several pages (as if from dampness); this flaw is unobtrusive and quite minimal. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. No reading wear and no previous ownership markings. An excellent copy. Full-color frontispiece by Michael Hague. Includes a large, folded map of Rohan, Gondor and Mordor -- laid in. ".As the Shadow of Mordor grows across the land, the Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, has joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and takes part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escape into Fangorn Forest and there encounter the Ents. Gandalf has miraculously returned and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam has left his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive -- now in the foul hands of the Orcs. And all the while the armies of the Dark Lord are massing as the One Ring draws ever nearer to the Cracks of Doom."
