Sotheby's "Guide to Identifying J.R.R. Tolkien First Editions"

Not the best of articles, you can do better reading the Articles on this site to identify editions https://www.tolkienguide.com/articles/

A distinguishing feature of the first printing is the presence of a misprint on page 193, where “Dodges” appears instead of “Dodgins.”

This is a complete mess, assume they are talking about Dodgeson on the dust-jacket, but disappointed that they did not proof-read the article.

I only passed this on as a notice, and only scanned it before doing so. No endorsement intended, and I rather expected that there would be issues with it, for others more expert than I to point out.

Thanks for posting it, it is useful for us to point out errors in it, hopefully Sotheby's may update it.

I too think this article is pretty lacking when it comes to the LoTR information. They should include the sheets sent to HoughtonMifflin in the 1st print numbers. As those were also printed by GA&U.
