London: George Allen and Unwin, 1966. First Edition. . Hardcover. Good/Good. Allen and Unwin. all 1966 2nd edition, 1st printing. 1966 was the first printing of the second edition produced for copyright reasons for the Ballantine paperback license problem.They needed a new edition. The 1966 edition failed to make all the correction Professor Tolkien required and he insisted they re-print them immediately for 1967. Thereafter we see most of the key text changes and it remain as we see them today. Both the first and second printings are must-haves for any collection. They later printings were just re-prints and not as important as far as content corrections. This set is a mixed set, each title acquired separately so the wear is different on each book and jacket. FotR and RotK are very nice, TT could use a replacement jacket as all the edges are badly scuffed. All books are well read and worn, with TT having old damp spotting to cover. Overall, a very affordable set of the now rare first… Leer más
