Tolkien, JRR: Smith of Wootton Major HB/DJ 1st/1st

Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1967

This is one of the "little books" which came out after the huge success of the "The Lord of the Rings". These books were first printed in England and followed up immediately in the US by Houghton Mifflin. This is a US edition. This is a stated first printing.

This book is quite nice NFine- or so with just a little gentle handling and no significant issues.

This unclipped jacket ($1.95) is a bit rough with minor missing pieces; it's in VG- or so condition. The jacket shows handling and has darkened a bit. This is a first state jacket with "SOWM" on the back cover next to the book's ID number.

There is a birthday inscription on the front end paper.

The book has 4 mostly square corners and other than noted, there is no writing or marks in the book.

This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy.

    • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
  • A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN

    • Current local sales tax will be charged for items shipped to the State of Washington.
