Publication details: George Allen & Unwin,1977,
Rare Book
£4,575.00 / $6,168.68

Bookseller Notes
Signed by the editor, Christopher Tolkien, on the flyleaf - an uncommon attribute and, given the posthumous status of the work's publication, the most desirable signature that could be obtained.

Description
FIRST EDITION, full-page folding map printed in red and black tipped in at rear, pp. 365, 8vo, original blue cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, tiny dink to top edge of upper board, top edge blue, faintest of browning at head of inner margin of free endpapers, dustjacket with a touch of fading to the red lettering on the backstrip panel, very good

Bibliography: (Hammond & Anderson A15b)

I saw that one and just figured that at this point everything from Blackwells Rare Books is absurdly priced. They don't seem to ever sell any of their Tolkien stuff, unsurprisingly.

Quite so! Many of Blackwell’s Tolkien items seems to have been listed for years. I wonder if this signed Sil will be the same
