The actual color of the book is blue like the one above and below. Sorry about that! SLIPCASED GIFT EDITION Ebay Mobile users: see FULL DESCRIPTION for complete details. It is more than slightly staggering to consider that the epic fantasy « Lord of the Rings » is actually the tail end of Tolkien’s invented history. The Silmarillion, considered to be Tolkien’s most important work, is the story of the creation of the world and the happenings of the First Age, clearly setting the stage for all his other works.It is to this ancient drama that the characters in The Lord of the Rings so often look back to and the core of Tolkien’s imaginative work that underlies all his writings about Middle-earth and stretches from the beginning of time to the departure of the Elves from Middle-Earth. Before the world began, the startling beauty of the Holy Ones awakened into song. The sound, like countless choirs, became an ever-changing melody. It was the music of the Ainur that set the world spinning within the endless habitation of space. Music filled the earth with air and fire and water; stone and silver and gold; vast halls and spaces. And Music it was that caused the Children of Illuvatar, Elves (the first born), Dwarves (the second born) and Men to be born. Of the Elven races, it was the Noldor, the most skilled of Elves in Earthlore, who first achieved the power of making gems. And it was the great Elf Feanor who made the Silmarils, the fairest of all gems: for kept within the Silmarils was the glory of the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Long after the Trees themselves were poisoned by the greed of the first Dark Lord Morgoth. These three great living jewels were hallowed so no mortal flesh nor anything evil may touch them. But deep within His fortress underground, the Dark Lord lusted after them. The peaceful days of Valinor were numbered as Morgoth stole the gems and the first great war of Middle-earth was waged over them. It was Morgoth who created the first great worm, Glaurung the Mighty Dragon and in this tale, Sauron is Morgoth’s 1st Lieutenant. This tale of biblical magnitude is every bit as awe inspiring as The Lord of the Rings, albeit nowhere near as popular. It is however, the story that all of the songs of old and poems recounted in The Lord of the Rings are told here in full. If you have not read this, then you are in for a real treat. Arguably one of the finest pressings of this masterpiece, offered here is a gorgeous rendition of Tolkien’s THE SILMARILLION by the Folio Society. Founded in 1947, The Folio Society applies the highest standards of design, binding, typography and illustration to commercially-produced books. Nearly sixty years on, they publish books that will stand the test of time, in handsome, imaginatively designed and beautifully made editions – a combination of quality and value that few publishers can match. Care and attention is devoted to every detail of the physical attributes of each book. Exacting standards require that every one has a proper sewn binding and comes in a protective slipcase. A wide range of binding materials are employed, from buckram, silk, leather and hand-marbled papers to traditional woven cloth. We choose from a selection of legible and elegant typefaces, seeking to preserve their character through a combination of modern and traditional printing techniques. DESIGN – Above all, the feature that distinguishes folio books from most others produced today is the rich variety and sophistication of the binding designs. A wide range of traditional materials – such as buckram, cotton, silk or leather – is employed for the bindings. These costly fabrics are the foundation upon which the artists and designers produce their creations. Sometimes their designs are printed in ink, but more often they are blocked – that is to say, impressed with foil into the surface of the material; frequently the two processes are employed together. BINDING – All books are sewn in 16-page sections: this gives strength to the book and enables the pages to be opened flat with ease. There are decorative head- and tailbands; also gilded or coloured top edges where we feel they are appropriate. The endpapers, in a wide array of colours, are often printed with maps, illustrations or other designs. Most important of all, the books are hardback-bound to the highest standard, so that they not only look well on the shelves but are always a pleasure to open and read. PAPER & TYPOGRAPHY – In the typography of Folio books the traditional virtues of legibility and elegance are paramount. The selection of paper for a particular book will involve deciding on a shade and character which harmonises with the illustrations and binding materials. The papers for Folio Society books are produced by a small number of European mills, chosen for their ability to produce the highest quality papers with absolute consistency. Books printed on inferior stocks will go brown and brittle within a few years; all Folio books are printed on wood-free and acid-free paper, designed for reading and rereading over many generations. THE SLIPCASE – A distinctive feature of Folio Society books which immediately strikes the eye is their presentation not in dust-jackets but in slipcases – the traditional protective covering for fine editions. The dustjacket evolved in the 20th century as a marketing device designed to catch the eye in a crowded bookshop. It does not, however, protect the book, and is itself easily damaged. With Folio books the design emphasis is on the binding itself, a permanent part of the book. Fine bindings need protection from dust and light, and this is furnished by the slipcase, which matches the binding materials and design of the book. Folio Society Books are a testament to an uncompromising dedication to the craft of bookmaking, a commitment to striving towards perfection which rises above mere commercial considerations.

And if you have any requests, by all means, send me an email; if I have it, I’ll list it right away for you (no off eBay sales…) About Me & This Item… I have been collecting books and music for over 35 years and have amassed an enormous collection with many duplicates. I do not subscribe to « grading » as it is so subjective and most of the « graders » truly have no clue! Therefore I’ll simply describe things in normal English! *A VERY gently handled and possibly read (although I doubt it) hardcover book, in the original slipcase, in EXCELLENT condition. It should also be noted that the picture to the right is the more accurate coloring of the book. The light from the flash gave it a bit of a green hue. It measures approximately 6″w X 9″h and about 1.5″ thick. If this book has been read, there is very little evidence of such! There is a VERY small dot of something on the lower edges of the pages. Again, it is tiny but there nonetheless. It is a sumptuously gorgeous offering and getting harder and harder to find! Enjoy… For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of… I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date! PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won’t be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on… GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with « Buy it Now » and « Add to Cart » options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options. Since I am a legitimate business, California deliveries will require sales tax. PAYMENT OPTIONS: I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL’S « TRANSACTION DETAILS ». If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item’s picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but – it ….. is ……….. slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don’t write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don’t have a clue! Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. You can check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as « gifts »; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I’ll try to answer… Please check out the other « lovely » items I have just waiting for you by CLICKING HERE! Thanks so much for looking and bidding on my items ~Alan.
