Tolkien J.R.R. - “Lord of the Rings” - Pirated Version - 1965

This set offers Tolkien fans the chance to get their hands on a unique piece of literary history. This is a rare, infamous 1965 “pirated edition” of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings, often referred to as the starting point of the “war over Middle-earth”. This unauthorised edition, printed before Tolkien secured his American copyright, is based on later printings of the first edition, unlike other paperbacks that use the revised editions.
