Boards and very clean, dust wrapper has some light wear and minor loss to top of spine (shown in images). All plates are present. Pages are chrisp and clean. The board was previously covered in a plastic wrap, which was stuck down onto the end papers. This has left some pesky tape residue (also shown in images). The book is price clipped. It is otherwise a very good copy and the plastic has presever the wrapper and boards wonderfully. Quick UK free shipping, tracked and insured. Please see other Tolkien books currently for auction.
