1967 First UK edition filled with Pauline's wonderful illustrations. No jacket as issued, slight fading to spine colors, with a little shelf dust to top page edges. Otherwise near fine. Very special for being signed by Pauline Baynes the illustrator. She has the unique history of being the only illustrator Professor Tolkien choose himself. This copy was signed by Pauline at a charity event. COA on request. We have been a professional dealer for over 20 years. All our photos are the actual item!
