A UNIQUE TRIBUTE TO A TIMELESS WORK
In 1977, The Folio Society's edition of The Lord of the Rings was first produced. A landmark in its own right, it was the first ever illustrated edition approved by the Tolkien Estate. In 1979, The Folio Society published the illustrated edition of The Hobbit. The first four volumes contain original illustrations, designed by Ingahild Grathmer and drawn by Eric Fraser. In 1997, The Folio Society published the The Silmarillion, which was illustrated by Francis Mosley.
Now available as a HAND BOUND LIMITED EDITION in a magnificent new binding of Morrocan goatskin leather and pure Indian silk. The Lord of the Rings is individually numbered and limited to just 1750 copies. The Hobbit is individually numbered and limited to just 1750 copies and The Silmarillion is individually numbered and limited to just 1750 copies. All books are numbered # 346 and form a matching set. NOW WHAT MAKES THIS SET UNIQUE IS THAT IT COMES WITH TWO COPIES OF THE HOBBIT...INCREDIBLY, BOTH NUMBERED # 346. Thats right, The Folio Society messed up and published TWO copies with the SAME NUMBER! The rarest of the rare....Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history. A must for any Tolkien fan or serious collectors as well!
