This copy is numbered #92 of 500, and is signed on the Limitation Notice by the Editor, Christopher Tolkien.

Number 1 went to Christopher Tolkien and the rest are prized by collectors and rarely found for sale.

Only minor thing is some minor soiling to the inserted signature slip and smudge on autograph.
No foxing, no marks, still crackles when opened.
