A scarce **Advance Uncorrected Proof** of *The Lays of Beleriand*, the third volume in the *History of Middle-earth* series, published in the US by Houghton Mifflin in 1985. This early state precedes the first edition and is marked “Advance Uncorrected Proof” on the front cover and interior publisher’s slip.

Printed in plain textured card wraps featuring the Elvish border design, matching the style of other US proofs in the series. This copy includes the original publisher’s review slip bound in before the preface.

Condition is **Very Good+**, clean and square with minor edge wear and light toning to the spine. Interior pages are crisp and complete. A key Tolkien collectible and rarely encountered in this state.
