First American Edition, First Printing. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Presents almost as new, one of the best copies we've seen. The famous prequel to The Hobbit and LOTR. Complete with Map of Beleriand and the Lands of the North (i.e., the Realms of the Noldor and the Sindar); opened only once for the photo presented. Includes shorter works in addition to The Silmarillion, including: Genealogies, The Sundering of the Elves, Note on Pronunciation, Index of Names, Appendix, Elements in Quenya and Sindarin names. Octavo. 365 pp. + map. A truly remarkable collector's copy.
