Baker, from a Photograph taken in 1868, by Mason & Co."), wood-engraved vignette title by J. Brown, and twelve wood-engraved plates, two by the firm of Dalziel Brothers, ten by Charles Roberts, all after Samuel Luke Fildes. Bound from the original parts with all wrappers correct and the vast majority of the advertisements including "The Cork Hat" Bound with John Jasper's Secret: Being a Narrative of Certain Events Following and Explaining "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" (London: Publishing Offices, 1872), the first of many attempts to solve The Mystery of Edwin Drood. The work was written by the New York journalist Henry Morford (1823 - 1881) and his wife Blanche DeVon Patterson Morford (1822 - 1896). First English edition (following the Philadelphia edition of the previous year) bound from the original parts with all wrappers correct and with substantially more advertisements than called for by Sadleir. Octavo (8 5/8 x 5 1/2 inches; 222 x 140 mm). [iv], 252 pp. Twenty wood-engraved plates. Page 251 is mispaginated 521 as called for. Bound by Zaehnsdorf ca. 1900 in full green morocco, covers ruled in gilt, spine with five raised bands, decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, others uncut. With the engraved bookplate of celebrated bibliographer and collector Charles Plumptre Johnson on front paste-down. Spine faded to olive green. Housed in a brown cloth slipcase. A Fine, clean example. "When Dickens died on June 9, 1870, he had completed only enough of his manuscript to make up six installments, leaving unfinished a work which had commanded the widest attention for its opening numbers, and which promised to be one of his most effective and popular books. Although only three parts had been issued prior to his death, publication of the work continued, and on completion with Part 6 of all available material, the vast army of readers was left high and dry as to 'The Mystery.' The Author during the writing of the story never disclosed the ultimate development of his plot" (Hatton and Cleaver). Smith I, 16; Gimbel H330; Sadleir 705. Fine.

Illustrations offer light humor and whimsy and strike winsome note of fantasy. A remarkably clean and bright copy. There is some soilage to fabric of boards, but it is comparatively minor. Binding is tight, and pages are clean with the low end of toning of the pages, an inevitability given the paper stock. A very good and attractive copy.

New York: William Morrow, 2022. 5th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. Lee, Alan. 2025 5th printing. Minimal cosmetic blemishes to corners, otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2022 Hard Cover. xxxi, 296 pp. Color plates by Alan Lee, color map and illustrations on endpapers. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume complete with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by renowned artist Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a "dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told." And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form. Now, adhering to the timeline of "The Tale of Years" in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
