The Peoples of Middle-Earth, by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien.
Published by Harper Collins in 1996.
This book is in Very Good Plus condition, with no writing or previous owners names.
The paper has lightly browned at the edges, as is common with the last 3 volumes of the series, due to paper quality issues.
There is no foxing or offsetting to the interior of the textblock, with some minor spotting to the edges.
The dustjacket is not priced or clipped, indicating this is the export edition.
It shows a minor amount of rubbing to the surface, with a spot or two of color loss at the front upper flap fold area.
This remains the toughest of the series to find, as Harper Collins pulled the edition from shelves, and pulped them, leaving only a very few copies in circulation.
This is not a library copy, but a highly prized true UK 1st Edition 1st Impression in wonderful condition.
From the blurb, 'The final volume of the 12 volume series of The History of Middle-Earth in which Christopher Tolkien shows the evolution, from his fathers records and essays, of the chronology of the later Ages, the Calendars, the Hobbit genealogies, and the Westron language or Common Speech.
This book concludes with two unfinished stories, The New Shadow, taking place in Gondor of The Fourth Age, and the tale of Tal-elmar, the coming of the dreaded Numenorean ships as seen through the eyes of men during the Dark Years.'
