1st edition
George Allen & Unwin, 1977. 1st edition (Billing printing). Antiquarian: fine condition.*
On September 16th 1977 a meeting was held at the Church House Bookshop in Westminster to mark the publication of this book. Proprieter Nigel Sustins had this copy of the book signed by Priscilla Tolkien (Tolkien's daughter), Joan Tolkien (Tolkien's granddaughter), Judith Baker (Tolkien's granddaughter, both children of Michael Tolkien), Rayner Unwin (Tolkien's good friend and publisher who died in 2000), Humphrey Carpenter (Tolkien's biographer, who died in 2005) and Pauline Baynes (Tolkien's favorite illustrator). On the first flyleaf is Nigel Sustins bookplate affixed, signed by him. A nice associated copy with many interesting signatures.
