Hello Up for auction is very good condition vintage paperback set of the Lord of The Rings trilogy. This set is the rare 1st thus paperback - and the first set to use Tolkien's artwork on the covers. Condition is read, but still in very nice condition, with little read evidence of repeated readership. Bright iconic cover art - that is vivid still, and isn't faded. Corners sharp still except a tiny bend of the bottom right-hand corner of The Fellowship of the Ring. Clean internal pages, with no inscriptions, annotations, or any other blemishes. A hard-to-find retro set that collectors are fondly seeking. Difficult to get in this good condition.
