Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, burgundy cloth with gilt titles, top of page block dyed burgundy as issued, in scarce 'blue' variant jacket, which means that although background is deep burgundy the titles and illustration are picked out in blue. Not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, foldout map at end as called for, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks hardly read. 472pp, illustrated. An extraordinary discovery is waiting for you on these pages. Mythic lore and forgotten legends unearthed by Christopher Tolkien from his father's archives unveil never-before-told stories of the three ages of ancient Middle-earth. Quite scarce in this unfaded variant jacket and early impression.
