The Lord of the Rings — Folio Society Three-Volume Set in Original Slipcase

The Folio Society’s illustrated edition

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. London: The Folio Society, three volumes: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. The volumes are presented together in the publisher’s maroon slipcase, with gold lettering and decorative borders. Their exposed spines are green with a sweeping gold design, black title panels and gold lettering.

The Folio Society’s illustrated Lord of the Rings features designs by Ingahild Grathmer, drawn for publication by Eric Fraser, and maps on the endpapers. This decorative binding was issued in several printings. The books remain enclosed in clear wrapping, so the title and copyright pages, exact impression, printing year and interior contents of this particular set have not been inspected.

Condition of this set

The three volumes sit in their original slipcase, still surrounded by clear shrink-wrap. The wrapping is split down the front and extensively torn on the reverse, with creasing and loose edges visible in the photographs. The maroon case and the green-and-gold spines remain clearly visible. Some small surface marks can be seen through the film; where the film covers the case, it is not possible to attribute every mark to the wrapping or to the case itself. The volumes have not been taken out or individually condition-graded.

An attractive Folio Society three-volume set in its original decorated slipcase, offered with its visibly split wrapping retained.
