About This Item
Allen & Unwin Australia, 1977. First Edition. Paperback. Good. Pages can have notes/highlighting. Spine may show signs of wear. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less.First edition. Shelf and handling wear to cover and binding, with general signs of previous use. This is the export edition, released on the same day in Canada as in the UK, therefore we can surmise it was the First Edition printed: no price on jacket, dark boards, William Clowes and Sons on copyright page. Boards betray fading and nicks and other signs of wear and imperfection commensurate with age. Binding is tight and structurally sound. Pages without any extraneous marks. New mylar added to ensure future enjoyment. Secure packaging for safe delivery.Dust jacket quality is not guaranteed.
Synopsis
The Silmarillion narrates the complexity of Middle-earth through a collection of J.R.R Tolkein’s 5 mythopoeic works, illustrating an extensive history and lore in relation to his work, T he Hobbit . The collection was originally published as individual works, but was later rejected due to incompleteness. In 1977 The Silmarillion was edited and published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher, with assistance from Guy Gavriel Kay, who later became a noted fantasy writer.
