THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Comprising The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

First edition with this new binding design, first printing. Three volumes. Publisher's green paper covered boards with illustration and decoration in black and gilt, in the original slipcase. Illustrated with superb black and white illustrations drawn by Eric Fraser after designs by Ingahild Grathmer. A near fine set, the bindings square and firm, with light fading to the spines, the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine structurally sound slipcase, that has a bump to the top edge and is lightly rubbed to the bottom.

Eric Fraser's illustrations for The Lord of the Rings were first published by the Folio Society in 1977 and are re-issued in this new Francis Mosley designed binding for the first time.
