The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien ( Ballantine | Special Ed. | 3rd. Prnt | 1974 )

Overall condition is acceptable. This is a trade paperback sized special edition of the novel. Although this is third printing, the condition takes it out of the collector's copy class. This is, 110%, a reader copy. It has too many flaws to count and the scans tell the tale. The spine has three vertical creases, chipping, and heavy edge wear. A strip of clear tape has been applied to the spine. The last page had fallen out and someone stepped on it but it has been taped back into the book. The book has seen moisture with the usual staining and spotting. So, if you want to preserve a better copy or have a copy to read you don't care about getting messed up, this is the book. Priced as low as I am going and I will still likely take a loss on it after fees.
