Tenty-seventh printing of Lewis's masterpiece dedicated to Lord of the Rings creator J. R. R. Tolkien. This copy's dust jacket is in beautiful, bright condition with a small nick to the fore edge corner at the head of the front of the book. There is a minor spot of discoloration on the spine near the foot as a result of what appears to be an adhesive that was applied and then removed. The inside is bright and clean. The back board has some soiling along the spine.
