The FRAME for this book, as well as the FRAMES for the other 'speciality' books, including my autographed copy of "THE TWO TOWERS", was made specially for me by RIDLEY'S CUSTOM FRAMING where I live in Brevard County, Florida.
The FRAME is made so that the book literally 'floats' in the frame, so as NOT to touch the glass. No chance of damage occurring to the cover or any other part of the book. The FRAME is also AIR-TIGHT and sealed, again for the safety and well-being of the book.
This 1st PRINTING copy of "THE TWO TOWERS" has been kept in plastic sealing inside a storage trunk. It was kept in there for about 17 years, and just last month, I took the book to my custom framers and had the frame made just for this book. Unlike the last books, that have already sold, my framer put a custom-built hinge on the back of the frame, so if you want, you can open the frame. The frame is sealed over the hinge-section.
The receipt for the framing is enclosed with the book and is in the pictures. The frame cost 0.00, so you can see how much I value my 'speciality' collectibles. A lot of you have sent me pictures of your own collections, so I am sure you can relate.
These 'speciality' books were the CENTERPIECES of my ENTIRE COLLECTION!!! They were the items that I was most proud of and were the hardest and rarest items to find. Especially in GOOD CONDITION!!!
I always looked at these books as excellent investments.
"THE LORD OF THE RINGS" is the 2nd most POPULAR book on the planet, behind only the Bible. It has been sold, translated and printed in immense amounts. And, as you all know, the fans of MIDDLE-EARTH form a VERY SPECIAL AND DEEP BOND with Professor Tolkien and the world he created.
Take the Quest, and Good-Luck!!!!!
Remember......this is my LAST BOOK!!!!
