New York, New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1977. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good+/Fine. Rankin, Arthur, Jr.; Bass, Jules. A stunningly illustrated edition of Tolkien's classic fantasy, with the 1966 version of the text brought to life with images from the film drawn by Arthur Rankin, Jr. & Jules Bass. Nearly square hardcover quarto (11.75" x 11.00") has brightly colored paper over boards, enhanced with a clear acetate overlay/dust jacket that provides the title/author information to front, along with brightly colored dragon.

Does not impact interior in any way. Very slightly bumped corners. Pages white & completely unmarked, colors intense, binding strong & straight. The clear DJ is truly Fine: clear & crisp with no tears or opacity. A beauty that belongs in every fan's collection!
