One of only 1150 Copies Printed. 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 along with the other we have listed. Please take a look at it as well.The collection we purchased was massive and we're still unearthing pieces from it. (*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.) The original collector obviously treasured them. It's just a rare gem and complete with original covers. A treasure for your collection.
