Tolkien (Export Edition) - The Silmarillion - 1977

これは非常に希少な1stエディションのJ.R.R. Tolkien『The Silmarillion』のコピーです。これは真の初版（しばしば輸出版と呼ばれる）で、英国 distribution向けに作られる前の版です。『Export Edition』は、無価格の帯にあるカバーや印刷所がWilliam Clowesである点など、いくつかの問題点によって示されます。本コピーは第2状態と見なされる非常に珍しい派生版で、1st Stateのいくつかの誤りが修正されているものの、すべてではありません。『The Silmarillion』の物語はトールキンの最も有名な作品『指輪物語』と『ホビット』と絡み合っており、このタイトルは彼の最も愛され、収集価値の高い作品のひとつとなっています。本コピーはおそらく未読で、状態はFineで、後ろの折り畳み地図と元の帯も含まれています。棚の上で美しく映え、装飾的な図書館や個人コレクションへの卓越した追加品となるでしょう。
