Notes
Published November, 1992. Slipcase is slightly larger but otherwise identical to the HarperCollins 1992 Illustrated Edition case (aside from imprint). This set includes:
The Fellowship of the Ring – 1st Printing
The Two Towers – 1st Printing
The Return of the King – 1st Printing
The runes bordering the slipcase read (repeating): ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRANSLATED FROM THE RED BOOK’.
A possible variant of this slipcase has been seen with the same blue leatherette over boards but without the silver stamping.
RRP: $90.00.
