The Lord of the Rings

Notes
The map showing A Part of The Shire appears on page 30. The 1980 version of the map of The West of Middle-earth at the End of the Third Age and the Map of Gondor, Rohan and Mordor appear on the endpapers.

Two impressions issued:

3rd Impression 2001 - 2,037 copies
4th Impression 2002 - 3,061 copies

[Details of print run sizes supplied by HarperCollins]

The 1st and 2nd Impressions were issued in a cloth covered slipcase, whereas the 3rd and 4th Impressions were issued in a leatherette covered slipcase.

The 1st Impression claims to be a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Later impressions do not make this claim, although many people make the assumption.

The book can be seen here.
