Beren and Lúthien – J.R.R. Tolkien – HarperCollins 2017 Deluxe Edition – 1st Impression

A confirmed true First Impression of the much-loved 2017 deluxe edition of Beren and Lúthien, published by HarperCollins and superbly illustrated by Alan Lee.

This deluxe edition was issued by HarperCollins in 2017 to accompany the publication of Beren and Lúthien, edited by Christopher Tolkien. The book reproduces Tolkien’s telling of the tale alongside later texts and variations that chart its gradual evolution over decades. Alan Lee's atmospheric illustrations and the elegant green-and-silver binding turn this edition into one of the finest modern Tolkien collectibles.

This copy has now been opened solely for photographic confirmation and can therefore be identified with certainty as a true First Impression. The book is presented in its original green slipcase with the gilt heraldic device to the boards and spine, printed on high-quality paper, and bound in quarter cloth with matching endpapers. The slipcase is clean and sharp, and the volume itself appears unread, with tight binding and fresh pages. Illustrations remain bright and crisp throughout.

A very attractive example for collectors who want the certainty of a genuine 1st printing in excellent condition, complete with slipcase and all original design elements as issued by HarperCollins.

A modern Tolkien edition that has already become sought after and increasingly difficult to find in verified first printing state.
