01 — “Lord of the Rings” – Dutch, FIRST print 1956-1957

THE chance for the real Tolkien collector: the complete Dutch first printing of “In de Ban van de Ring”(“The Lord of the Rings”). Complete with dust jackets.
The Dutch translation (1956 – 1957) was the first translation of the LotR. Only 3.000 copies of the set of three books were printed. And that makes the Dutch version even more rare than the UK version (3.500 copies).

NB: On the dust jacket of part 1 Tolkien’s initials are J.J.R. instead of J.R.R.

It’s pretty hard to get a complete set with dust jacks. Most of them have gone lost in the more than 60 years of their existence.

For their age, the three books are in pretty good condition. The dust jackets have some little damage (see photo’s). What you see is what you get.

The price for this set is EUR 500,00 (plus costs of shipping).
ATTENTION: February 9, 2022: THIS SET IS SOLD. Soon I might have another set …..
August 6, 2022: that set is also sold. I will try and find another set (might take some time).

02: The complete series of History of Middle Earth + Index.
Jan, 17:  S O L D (I will try to get another complete set).

Price for the complete set of thirteen books is EURO 200,00 plus costs of shipping.
