The Silmarillion — 2007 30th Anniversary De Luxe Edition, Sealed in Original Slipcase

The 30th Anniversary De Luxe Silmarillion

The Silmarillion. HarperCollins, London, 2007. Edited by Christopher Tolkien. 30th-anniversary de luxe edition. ISBN 978-0-00-726489-6.

Issued thirty years after the first publication of The Silmarillion, this edition presents the revised and corrected text in a new setting. It includes part of Tolkien’s 1951 letter to Milton Waldman, in which he explains the conception and scope of his mythology. Tolkien’s painting of the Halls of Manwë on Taniquetil and his heraldic device for Lúthien Tinúviel appear as colour frontispieces. The map of the Realms of the Noldor and Sindar faces page 106; a map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North is supplied on a folding leaf at the rear.

The volume is quarter-bound in imperial blue, with a gold-stamped spine and Tolkien’s Lúthien device on the grey boards. A matching publisher’s slipcase accompanies it. The publisher’s printed back panel, still in place beneath the shrink-wrap, describes the edition and carries the ISBN.

Condition

This example is sealed in its original clear shrink-wrap. The blue spine, grey boards and slipcase present cleanly through the wrapping; folds and reflections of the plastic are visible in the photographs. The book has not been opened, so its individual printing statement and the condition of the interior maps and pages have not been inspected. No claim is made that this particular copy is the first impression.
