This particular copy, number 11 of the first one thousand copies off the press, was reserved for later publication in this collector's edition. The book and slipcase are both in very fine condition, bound in bright red leather with gold gilding on the front and spine. The top edge of the pages is also adorned with gold gilding.
With its beautiful binding and the signature of Christopher Tolkien, this limited edition of The Silmarillion is a must-have for any serious Tolkien collector.
