Description
For sale: a rare and exceptional illustrated edition, hardcover copy of The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. Illustrated by the author.
A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginative writing, a work that he could not publish in his lifetime because it grew with him. Its origins stretch back to a time long before The Hobbit. But The Hobbit was caught up in what Tolkien called “the branching acquisitive theme” he began in The Silmarillion, and eventually The Lord of the Rings emerged from this as well.
Ships promptly in with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
