Item description from seller

First Printing, Folio Society 1977 Set. This is the better of two sets I'm selling. Above average. These are quite common to find, but usually the light grey spine 1/4 leather is worn/aged down to the brown under colour, instead of white, also pitted and stained. The gilt can be chipped also. The cloth covers are generally in better condition, but can have very minor marks in places. Pages and binding are usually as new, unread in many cases The price/value comes down to the degree of wear and staining to the spine faux leather. This one is average. The slipcase has the odd mark, darkening to front edge, but generally found in good condition. This is an overall average set, thus the lower asking price than past finer sets. Though Folio, we beleive these sets will remain collectable compared to other book club editions. It may not be widely known, but the illustrator Ingahild Grathmer was really Margarethe II of Denmark, who took the throne in January 1972 after her father passed away and recently abdicated. She sent Tolkien her Lord of the Rings drawings when she was still Crown Princess—but becoming Queen didn’t mean Margarethe slowed down on her extracurricular activities. The same illustrations were used in the 1977 Danish Edition of The Lord of the Rings. She was only the second artist after Pauline Baynes in which Tolkien approved of her art style. This may be because it was similar to his own style.
