THE WAR OF THE JEWELS: The Later Silmarillion Part Two, The Legends of Beleriand.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth boards, with gilt titling to the spine, in dustwrapper. With five line-drawn maps throughout the text. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with a little toning to the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete in the lightly rubbed dustwrapper, that is a touch faded to the spine, and is otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£25.00 net to the lower front flap).

The eleventh volume in The History of Middle-Earth series.
