His books have been translated into over 60 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide. *************************************************************************

This is a book that has three or four shorter passages from Tolkien collected individually and separated by introductory essays. Each story has its own page run, so you have to add them up to see the total page count of the book. This is a vintage, collectible, rare book. However, it is delicate. The cover has not fully detached, but it is hanging on by a thread. The book is entirely readable, and except for the name of a previous owner on the inside of the front cover, the book has no other markings. Pages sit firmly in the binding. The cover is falling off, though. 279 Numbered Pages.
