The Lord of the Rings — Alan Lee illustrated, custom leather binding with presentation case


Alan Lee’s illustrated one-volume Lord of the Rings in a numbered full-leather binding, supplied with a decorated presentation case and signed, hologrammed certificate. Available by enquiry.



The complete Lord of the Rings in one volume with Alan Lee’s illustrations, offered with a coordinated presentation case. The supplier records HarperCollins, 1,193 pages plus additional leaves, and approximately 17 × 25.5 cm. Publication year and impression remain unconfirmed.

Binding and presentation



The later full-leather binding has raised bands, decorated boards, coloured page edges and marbled endpapers. Its custom binding series comprises 500 numbered copies; this is not a publisher-issued limited edition. The approximately 25 × 30 cm case combines book cloth, a leather spine and burgundy lining, with decoration coordinated to the book.

Certificate and condition



A hologrammed certificate is signed by the owner of Antykwariat Sobieski, documenting the binding project. This does not make the book Tolkien-signed. The supplier describes the condition as very good.

Availability



Available by enquiry, subject to confirmation. The exact available number, underlying edition, condition and delivery estimate will be checked before purchase. Photographs illustrate the binding and package. Shipping is quoted separately.

Other options
