The Lord of the Rings — Illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien, Sealed US Edition, 2021

The Lord of the Rings Illustrated by the Author

The Lord of the Rings: Illustrated by the Author. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, United States, 2021. ISBN 978-0-358-65303-5.

This one-volume edition brings together the complete story and a selection of the paintings, drawings, maps and designs Tolkien made while imagining Middle-earth. The silver jacket carries his ring-and-eye device in red, black and gold, with his reproduced signature and a gold runic border. The book’s red fore edge, decorated with flowing Elvish lettering, supplies a particularly striking contrast.

This is the American 2021 illustrated issue, identifiable in the photographs by its Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ISBN and the original US $75 publisher’s label on the rear of the jacket. It should not be confused with the separate British deluxe slipcased edition.

Condition

The book remains in its original clear shrink-wrap. The silver jacket and decorated red page edges present brightly; folds and reflections in the wrapping are visible in the photographs. The wrapping has not been removed, so the internal printing statement, maps and pages have not been inspected. A first-printing statement cannot be verified without opening it.

An unopened, author-illustrated American Lord of the Rings with its original silver jacket and vividly decorated edges.
