Waldenbooks (bookseller here in the USA back in the seventies and eighties) ad for Silmarillion release.
Not quite a publisher advert but similar enough I thought I would include it when I ran across it.

Unfinished Tales mini catalog (pre-release) from Houghton Mifflin to booksellers. Weird folding pattern that didn't scan well, might include a photo soon that shows what order the panels go when you open it up.
Anybody have any idea when this was issued, I would guess 1964.
It is included with a set of 1950's UK Lord of the Rings.

Couldn't enlarge the photo to read (but have one of these somewhere).
From memory (may be wrong) it is promotional leaflet/booklet issued with the 2nd Edition of the Lord of the Rings in 1966

Here are the photos.
The leaflet mentions the 3 volumes of the Lord of the Rings at 25s each - so this must be the 1966 Second Edition.
Also I had a GA&U promo letter filed with this leaflet (I think I purchased the leaflet and letter together). The Letter mentions the publication of Smith & Wootton Major in November - so this dates the letter to 1967. Whether the leaflet and letter were issued together:- Not sure on that one.
Anyway, 1966/67 seems to be the timeframe.
