Given that we don't know what the Dust Jacket actually looked like (other than Perhaps Wayne who has seen one), I'm trying to make something plausible just to protect the spine of the book from UV on the shelf. I can figure out the correct size easily enough (as I know how wide the flaps were from shadowing on the endpapers).
Any suggestions, help, etc. welcomed
[Edit: It looked nothing whatsoever like my first musings, attached here! ]

Excellent find! looks like I need to get rid of the italics on the price, and then it'll be near enough!
I suspect there will be more of them out there. Probably mostly in West Yorkshire, waiting to be discovered.

Gawain, could I be cheeky and ask for a photo or scan of the upper cover for TolkienBooks.net?

Of course, Deagol. I intended to send you one as well as posting here and then forgot. I'll try both scanning and photo and PM you both.

oops strike that I don't seem to be able to PM an image so I'm posting them here. The top corner is missing so message me back Deagol if you'd like me to scan or photo differently.

Corrected flap price positioning/font + adjusted positioning of offices downwards slightly based on new photo.

No problem, Deagol. I'm delighted to see it on your website.
