A very attractive early imprint of Tolkien's trilogy in remarkably preserved "Eye of Sauron" dustjackets. Each of the set the same imprint, with corresponding dustjackets, matching cloth, and very finely preserved. A first edition set just knocked down $75,000.00 at auction and these early editions in a good state are increasingly difficult to locate.
