About this book: A foundational work of Tolkien scholarship, Flieger explores the philosophical and linguistic underpinnings of The Silmarillion and Middle-earth. This original 1983 edition is highly sought after for its specific scholarly context and iconic cover art.

Condition: Very Good vintage condition. The cover is intact with light shelf wear and minor corner rubbing. The spine is solid.  There is no creasing from reading.  Slight cover flare (bowing) at the fore-edge.  Interior pages appear clean, bright, and free of highlighting or marginalia.  The edges of the book show foxing/staining, as is seen in the photos.
