Title: The Lord of the Rings Two Towers Return of the King J.R. R. Tolkien Canadian Pauline Baynes Early Third Edition Illustrated Paperbacks
Description: Canada, Methuen & Co. 1973. Third Canadian Methuen & Co. Paperback. Original Authorized Canadian Good+ Third 1973 Methuen & Co. The Return of The King and The Two Towers 440 pp and 352 pp. of The Lord of The Rings. Two of the Three Books of the trilogy. Clean pages. Free of signatures of owners NOT library copies. A little Color flaking on both most on The Return of the King.slight on Two Towers. Overall Good+ Maybe better on Two Towers but hard to find quite early 1973 Candian Editions with the hard to find wonderful color illustration of Pauline Baynes from her commisioned map (not Tolkien's map shown) and of course here from the covers of the Fellowship at their full exhuberent strength setting out. Also interesting blurb by Tolkien in the back of 4th scan, different from the American Ballantine editions (Ian Ballantine used to come in my shop to visit me and really did look just like a hobbit) and see advertising other works by J.R.R. See in our third Scan. J.R.R Tolkien approved and was most fond of Pauline's art work and is frankly in my humble estimation still my favorite illustration of the wonder combined with medieval Faerie realism. I just love them. You do not see their faces, rather you imagine them. See all our Three Geese in Flight Celtic Book Scans. Ill.: Pauline Baynes. Good+ .
