The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien (First American Edition, First Printing w/ Map)
The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien is a vintage first American edition, first printing hardcover book published in 1977 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. This epic fantasy epic book, set in a time far earlier than Tolkien’s master works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, narrates the history of the elves and the creation of Tolkien’s magical world. It contains legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils. This essential compendium for all Tolkien fans includes the Quenta Silmarillion, as well as four other short works, making it a must-have for fans of literature and fiction.
