The Two Towers (Lord of the Rings Vol. 2) by J.R.R. Tolkien - 1962

First Edition/Ninth Impression; A Near Fine or better book in a Very Good plus dust jacket. This is the Houghton Mifflin edition (first US edition), published in the US from imported British sheets. A handsome copy of this novel, the 2nd in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, THE classic fantasy series of the 20th century; this book hard to find in near fine or better condition (only 2000 copies printed of this impression). This copy is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright lettering over clean blue boards, crisp pages free from markings throughout, and a large map attached to the rear paste down; the book shows only some light foxing to the page edges, a gentle push to the spine ends, and a previous owner's bookplate to the front free paper, else fine. Housed in a crisp and bright very good plus dust jacket that shows some mild rubbing and creasing to the spine ends, edges, and corners, some light foxing to the flaps, and minor soiling to the back panel, else near fine or better. Overall, a handsome copy; Not remaindered, not price clipped ($5.00 intact), not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
