Green leather with gilt titling and decoration, ribbon markers, gilt page edges, silk endsheets.

Maps laid-in to the three volumes of 'Lord of the Rings.' Leather fine. Spine of 'Fellowship' has a slight forward tilt; other spines square. Bindings sound. Some very light wear to gilt page edges. Easton bookplates adhered at either fly leaf or verso of FFEP of each volume, with a prior owner's name penned in. Interiors else clean, texts bright and unmarked.
Synopsis
All three parts of the epic masterpiece combined in one definitive edition of the text.Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power – the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike.
