 The Return of the KingJ.R.R. Tolkien 2nd Edition, 7th Impression 1973 George Allen & Unwin London ISBN 0048230472 Hardback in dustwrapper Cover illustration based on a design by J.R.R. Tolkien Hammond Page Ref.: p.138 Notes Eight impressions issued before the dustwrapper design was changed again:
7th Impression 1973 Copies of the 7th Impression 1973 have also been seen with the previous style of dustwrapper. * Two 9th Impressions - dated 1974 and 1978 - were issued. Only the 1978 Impression is recorded in later copies. For most impressions the dustwrapper was laminated to give a gloss finish, however, some copies of the 8th and 9th Impressions (1974) lack the laminated finish. The 9th Impression 1978 saw the introduction of heavier weight paper for the text which increased the thickness of the book by about 5mm. Some copies have the ISBN for The Two Towers on the dustwrapper. This error was corrected in the 1980s. |
