About this Item

[Fantasy] FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION, domestic issue, printed by Billing & Sons. Octavo (23 x 15cm), pp.365 [1]. Folding map to rear. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt titles to spine, top edge blue. With the dust-jacket illustrated with drawings by Tolkien, priced at £4.95. Internally crisp and clean, but for a brown stain to fore-edge (no bleed into margins). Jacket shows a similar stain to reverse of the jacket, only slightly showing to the obverse. Some sunning to the red lettering on the spine, as usual. Very good. 'The Silmarillion' is the story of the First Age in Tolkien's world, the ancient drama to which Middle Earth characters from 'The Lord of the Rings' look back, and in whose events some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part. Hammond & Anderson A15b.
