First edition, first impression of Tolkien's The Two Towers from 1954 - one of the most iconic books in the world of book collecting.

Only 3250 examples of the first impression were issued by the publisher George Allen And Unwin making this one of the most sought after of the Tolkien titles.

First edition, first Impression. Internally in near-fine condition with the fold out map to the rear of the book in truly excellent condition with no marks or tears. The text block itself is remarkably clean, with just minor foxing to the endpapers. The rare dustjacket is VG+; price clipped with a number of small chips and tears to spine and the folds and minor discoluration to the edges. A lovely example overall.

Published by George Allen And Unwin Ltd, London, 1954.
