Appearing for the first time is a full-color plate section featuring the three pages from the Book of Mazarbul, painstakingly created by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Also appearing for the first time are two additional Hobbit family trees by Tolkien.
Includes the appendices and a revised and updated index. Quarter-bound in red, stamped in red and gold foil on grey boards, and housed in a matching slipcase.
Printed on superior quality paper and including a red silk ribbon marker.
This edition available for a limited time only.

Still sealed in the factory plastic wrap, the photo's were taken of an opened copy, this 50th Anniversary Edition is a beautiful addition for any collection.
