The bindings show a mild lean but remain firm, with some bumping and light wear to the spine tips and corners, and a few foxing spots to the closed text blocks. The pages are clean and uninscribed, save for a small contemporary ink inscription to the front free endpaper of Fellowship. The maps at the rear are clean, with a few minor marginal creases and a small tear to the extremities of the Towers and Fellowship maps. The dust wrappers are very lightly sunned to the spines, with only the red lettering on the Towers volume slightly faded; there is some foxing and staining to the rear panels, along with light wear and minor nibbling to the extremities, and a little toning in places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sancho's Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53578914070867,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5403\/5283\/files\/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-J-R-R-TOLKIEN-Allen-Unwin-1971-73-SECOND-EDITION-7-6-7th_8.webp?v=1777120481","url":"https:\/\/sanchosrarebooks.co.uk\/products\/the-lord-of-the-rings-j-r-r-tolkien-second-edition-1971-1973-later-prints-3","provider":"Sancho's Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
