Item description from seller

Allen and Unwin. 1962, 1962, 1961 Impressions 12, 9, 8 One of my better condition sets. No tears a copy of minor light stains, one on RotK jacket spine, sunning to jacket spines. Of 1st edition sets you are more or less buying jacket as far as the value, thus this set is priced higher. Books are excellent, all have uniform wear, indicating they were purchased together which by 1962 was normal. With a near fine period slipcase. Condition, Condition, Condition! As Tolkien book collecting grows in popularity, the availability of collectible/investment original condition books and jackets disappears. It is not just the printing/edition that matters to the value, but that serious collectors want only the best condition. Books with damaged jackets or even no jackets at all, are now increasing in price, driving up the price of complete and better condition copies. You could have a poor copy worth only £200 or a fine copy worth £5,000. That's how important condition is to value. You should always buy the best you can afford original jackets, early printing and very good or better. Unlike other genre’s, the market for Tolkien early editions is quite mature and well established. It is not a matter of waiting for a better copy to come along. There aren’t going to be any! There are no more hiding in the attic or charity shops. People sell off their more worn copies when they upgrade and now leave their collections to their children. We’ve been a specialist dealer for 25 years. Some examples that were plentiful just two years ago are now completely gone or only the dregs appear. As time goes on, you’ll pay more money, for less condition. First editions The Lord of the Rings and Hobbits remain the most in demand. If you like it, can afford it, then buy it while its available.
