Fellowship of the Ring, JRR Tolkien, Pirated Copy, 1965

Desirable first paperback edition of Fellowship of the Ring. Ace skirted copyright law to publish what is now known as the "pirated" edition of Lord of the Rings–containing sections not included in the authorized American editions. The cover and lore behind this edition makes for a highly desirable copy of Tolkienania

Good condition, some light wear to the cover. 

Contains some good ad hoc bookmark ephemera: hand-written recipe for "Cherry-Roasted Lamb", a 1960s handbill for a restaurant in Brussels, and a 1960s business card for the customs examiner in Manila.
