The Silmarillion
Shipping
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1977 George Allen & Unwin first edition hardback, opens the vault to Middle-earth’s First Age, centuries before The Lord of the Rings. This copy arrives with its original dust jacket and a neat vintage inscription on the front endpaper, giving collectors a tangible link to the book’s earliest readers.
Expect light character: the jacket carries a gentle crease, two small chips and a faint watermark hidden underneath, while the page edges show typical age-toned foxing and a few thumb marks. Inside, an old name is penned to the front inner board, and a handful of leaves sport minor spots—nothing that obscures Tolkien’s sweeping myth cycles.
Despite these mellow signs of life, the binding remains square and the text block complete, making this First Edition Silmarillion a gratifying cornerstone for any fantasy shelf or Tolkien trove.
