The Lord of the Rings 10th Printing Hardcover Book Set

Description

Vintage 1965 10th printing of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" hardcover book set, complete with the original slipcase. Includes the three volumes: "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "The Return of the King." The slipcase shows significant wear and damage, and the books themselves exhibit some shelf wear and age-related discoloration.

Appraisal Report

This is a highly desirable set of Tolkien books, particularly for collectors and fans of "The Lord of the Rings." The fact that it is a 1965 10th printing means it is a vintage edition, which adds to its value. The condition of the books and the presence of the slipcase (though damaged) are important factors. Given the condition of the slipcase and some wear on the books, the value falls into the mid-range for this printing. A set in excellent condition with a pristine slipcase would command a higher price.
