Details

This is the so-called export edition. The story goes that the export edition was released earlier than the domestic edition and is therefore the real first edition. Includes a fold-out map Printed by William Clowes & Sons. Printing errors on page 330 (no full stop after Fëanor) and page 352 (the word and should not have been in italics.) The export edition can be specifically recognized by the fact that the dust jacket does not contain a price and that it was printed by William Clowes & Sons. The Domestic edition is printed by Billing & Sons and does include a price on the dust jacket (see 1b). There are two variations of this. with a blue / white striped headband and without a headband. textual differences between these two variants suggest that the first variant came out first.
