The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy – Advance Uncorrected Proof

Edited by Gregory Bassham and Eric Bronson. Open Court, Chicago, 2003.

Advance uncorrected proof of The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy: One Book to Rule Them All, Volume 5 in the Popular Culture and Philosophy series. Bound in illustrated wrappers, with a white rear panel explicitly identifying the proof.

The rear-cover publicity specifies November 2003 publication, ISBN 0-8126-9545-3 and a projected 336 pages. This is a publisher’s advance specification, not a verified collation of this proof.

The essays explore questions of power, ethics, happiness, mortality and the relevance of fairy tales through Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

The photographed interior pages are clean and unmarked. The front wrapper has a crease near the spine, surface rubbing and small marks. The white rear wrapper shows scattered spotting, marking and light edge wear.

A distinctive pre-publication companion to the philosophical questions of Middle-earth.
