The Lord of the Rings is an epic of high-fantasy by Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. Set in Middle-earth, LOTR arose as a sequel to Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Tolkien commenced writing LOTR in 1937, and it was published first in three volumes in 1954 and 1955 and then as a single volume in 1968 (as Tolkien originally intended). LOTR has won many literary awards and is one of the most beloved works of 20th century literature and best-selling books ever written, having been translated into over 50 languages. LOTRis considered a watershed in literature, influencing music and popular culture, and has been adapted for stage, film and radio.

The map showing A Part of The Shire appears on page 30. The 1954 version of the map of The West of Middle-earth at the End of the Third Age is present in full on page 6 as well as appearing spread over five integral pages. The Map of Gondor, Rohan and Mordor appears on pages 774-775.

This edition only includes a brief excerpt from the Appendices - A Part of the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen from the Annals of the Kings and Rulers.

For this impression changes were made to the lettering on the upper and lower covers as well as to the spine.
