Reprinted in a new binding design (first edition thus). 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 binding square and firm, with light fading to the spine. The contents with a touch of light spotting to the top edge of two volumes, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed, structurally sound slipcase, as issued.
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.
