(Covers are often replaced and the work rebound.) Wear to edges on oversized Front Cover. Some browning to covers. See photos. All pages are firmly attached. Colour Frontispiece. 3 Fold-Out Pages. 50 plates. 28 full-page figures. Glossy Pages . Text very clean. Contains 6 page essay by J.R.R. Tolkien (Appendix 1) on the Name 'Nodens'. One of only 1150 Copies Printed. See Hammond B13. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Remarkable find for the Tolkien collector. These large volumes are very rare and not many are available. Most that have survived are in the collections of the avid Tolkien completist and devoted fan. One of Tolkien's earliest published pieces and a piece that is exceptionally difficult to acquire. 4 copies were found in a Tolkien collection we purchased and we sold all of them. We didn't expect to see another, but here it is. (*Please look at some of our other Tolkien pieces for sale. We've sold hundreds of pieces from the collection, but many, many gems remain.) and all were lovingly kept between two sheets of acid free paper, each in a sturdy archival box. The original collector obviously treasured them. It's just a rare gem in rare condition.
