*With the 6th Printing, the 3rd Printing date was changed to December, 1965.
**Hammond’s Bibliography states that there was a second 8th Printing dated March 1967 (p. 110). This actually refers to the 4th Canadian Printing of the same edition which has a varying (possibly incorrect) ‘U.S. Printing History’ list when compared with the U.S. printings (also mentioned in The Tolkien Collector, no. 14, p. 6).
