The Lord of the Rings (Volumes I to VII)

Complete in seven volumes, presented in an illustrated card slipcase. Set still in original shrink wrap, in as new condition throughout. A seven volume boxed set of paperbacks. Originally intended by Tolkien for publication as a single volume, The Lord of the Rings grew in the telling and it was split into three volumes for its first publication. But Tolkien wrote his epic fantasy as a work of six books plus a series of appendices - this edition is the first to produce the volumes as Tolkien had originally intended. A slipcased set of slim paperbacks, bound in black covers with the distinctive Eye of Sauron embossed in red and gold on each copy and, for the first time, bearing Tolkien's original titles for the each of the books - The Ring Sets Out; The Ring Goes South; The Treason of Isengard, The Ring Goes East; The War of The Ring; The End of the Third Age; and a volume of appendices etc.
