Custom Slipcase for J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings

Hand–made, archival slipcases by Dark Dawn, created exclusively for TolkienLibrary.com and tailored to your own edition of The Lord of the Rings.

Protect and present your favourite Tolkien with a bespoke open–ended slipcase, designed to fit your specific copy of The Lord of the Rings – from much–loved reading copies to fine first editions and centenary sets.

Each slipcase is individually crafted by Dark Dawn using only acid–free, archival boards and papers. Structural boards that never touch the book are sealed with acid–free PVA or acrylic varnish, creating a stable long–term barrier.
