 The SilmarillionJ.R.R. Tolkien Edited by Christopher Tolkien 1st Edition 1977 reserved and issued as: Collector's Edition 1982 George Allen & Unwin London ISBN - See below Hardback - Issued in a slipcase Not illustrated Hammond Page Ref.: pp.228-229 Notes Printed by Clowes & Sons. Limited edition of 1,000 copies, 100 of which were signed by Christopher Tolkien. The first 1,000 copies of the first edition off the press were reserved for later publication in a red leather binding. The paper appears to be a slightly different colour and texture to that used for the standard trade edition. It is thought that not all of the 1,000 copies were bound and issued. Two variants of the limitation plate have been seen - one on an integral leaf and the other pasted onto the front end paper. One impression only. There are two ISBNs for this edition:
