The Lord of the Rings — 1999 Millennium Edition, Sealed Seven-Volume Set with CD

Tolkien’s Seven-Part Lord of the Rings, Unopened in Its Original Slipcase

The Lord of the Rings: The Millennium Edition. HarperCollins, London, 1999. First seven-volume edition. ISBN 0-261-10387-3.

This distinctive edition follows the six-book structure within Tolkien’s novel. Each book is bound as a separate small hardback under its own title—The Ring Sets Out, The Ring Goes South, The Treason of Isengard, The Ring Goes East, The War of the Ring and The End of the Third Age—with the Appendices forming a seventh volume. Together the spines spell TOLKIEN across the original black publisher’s slipcase.

The black bindings bear the Eye of Sauron device in red and gold, adapted from Tolkien’s own design. The set was newly typeset for this issue. A map of part of the Shire appears in the first volume; the maps of western Middle-earth and of Gondor, Rohan and Mordor appear at the end of the seventh. The original audio CD, on which Tolkien reads excerpts from The Lord of the Rings with notes by George Sayer, is visible in its publisher’s packet on the front of this set.

Condition

This set remains unopened in clear publisher’s shrink-wrap. All seven matching volumes, the black slipcase and the CD packet are visible through the wrapping. The black case and red-and-gold lettering present brightly. The wrap has some creases, small stress lines and reflections, particularly around the corners; these should not be mistaken for marks on the books. The internal pages, maps and individual printing statements have not been inspected through the seal.

A complete, sealed British Millennium Edition with its original seven-volume slipcase and Tolkien reading CD.
