----------------------
The book and protected dust jacket are in Fine condition. The book has no inscriptions and the dust jacket is not price clipped.
----------------------
The only issue preventing this book & DJ from being in as new condition is the merest touch of fading to the top and bottom of dustjackets spine - about half a centimetre at top and bottom (hardly noticeable).

The Silmarillion is a gloriously realised story of rebellion, exile, war and the heroism of elves and men. But to gain an insight into the staggering complexity of Tolkien's world, however, the shorter works also included are must-reads. Dealing with the myth of creation, the nature of the Gods, the fall of Númenor and the Rings of Power, they paint a vivid picture not only of Middle Earth but also of the author's soaring imagination.
