Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter ( H. M. Co. | 2nd. Printing | 1977 )

Overall condition is acceptable. The dust jacket is a bit more yellowed with age (more eggshell color) which the scanner tends to make brighter. It has scuff marks, some indents, some tiny tears along the edges (mainly near the corners), edge chipping on the spine side and the interior of the dust jacket has definitely yellowed.  The book itself is in good shape with very little corner rounding though the spine ends are a bit more worn. The former owner's name is written, along with a date, in pen on the inside front cover. The pages have some discoloration with age but not too much due to good paper quality.
