Notes
Typeset based on a corrected impression of the Allen & Unwin 1966 Second Edition. Includes Douglas A. Anderson’s ‘Note on the Text’.

19th Printing: April, 1987

Not reprinted.

This printing was also issued as a Book Club Edition. This can be distinguished from the trade edition by the copyright page, unstained page edges, and in that it was issued with a dust-jacket (unpriced with a blank back cover). This Book Club publication was not issued with a slipcase.

This edition is similar to the 1978 Houghton Mifflin Edition and the 1986 Book Club Edition but can be distinguished from them by the following features: lack of dust-jacket, page top edges stained, headband, color of boards, spine design* and copyright page.

Sold in a set with The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

*The letters ‘J.R.R.’ on the top of the spine are not noted in Hammond’s Bibliography.
