The Lord of the Rings — Deluxe Slipcased Edition, Sealed Later Impression


The Fiftieth-Anniversary Deluxe Lord of the Rings



J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. HarperCollins, London. The one-volume fiftieth-anniversary deluxe edition, first issued in 2004. ISBN 978-0-00-718236-7.

This sealed copy is a later impression of the deluxe edition first issued in 2004. Its spine omits the “50th Anniversary Edition” wording seen on early copies. The copyright page, exact impression and printing year cannot be checked without opening the shrink-wrap.

The complete story is brought together with the appendices and index in a substantial single volume. The publisher’s rear panel describes the reset text, maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien, facsimile pages from the Book of Mazarbul and two additional Hobbit family trees. These contents have not been individually inspected in this sealed copy.

Original Binding and Publisher’s Slipcase



The publisher describes the volume as quarter-bound in red with grey boards, stamped in red and gold foil, with a red silk marker. It is housed in its matching burgundy slipcase. The exposed spine bears Tolkien’s monogram, his name and the title in gold; the Eye and Ring device decorates the case.

Condition



Still sealed in clear shrink-wrap, with the publisher’s rear information panel and ISBN label retained. The case has rich burgundy colour and bright gold decoration. Folds and reflections from the wrapping are visible at the corners and edges. The book, binding and folding material have not been removed for individual inspection.

The publisher’s panel specifies the appendices, revised index, folding maps and Mazarbul facsimile material. Their presence has not been individually checked inside this sealed copy.
