Super deluxe edition. Copy number 124 of 1,000 copies. Octavo. Original publisher’s full red leather, lettered and decorated gilt, in the publisher’s leather trimmed slipcase. Top edge gilt. With the original cardboard mailing box.
 
A fine copy, uncommonly so, with the red uniformly bright and as issued. 
 
Perhaps the most difficult of all the Tolkien Super Deluxe editions to find in truly fine condition. This copy, housed in its original mailing box since publication, is as bright as the day it was issued.
