#001020 - The Lord of the Rings, Illustrated By Alan Lee, Publishers Slipcase - sold

The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Published by Houghton Mifflin in 2002, a Near Fine, bright 3 volume set in the original color pictorial dustjackets, all fitted with new dustjacket protectors and housed in the publishers slipcase.

The slipcase has a minor bump to the rear bottom edge, not effecting the books.
All three volumes are the 1st printing thus, from 2002, being the first time ever that the Alan Lee illustrated Lord of the Rings was issued in 3 volumes with all 50 of his color plates.
The earlier edition had only 48 color plates and was a smaller size.
These images eventually defined the look and feel of Peter Jackson's movie trilogy, and earned Alan Lee an Academy Award.

A beautiful fully illustrated set for the Tolkien enthusiast.
