RICK GEKOSKI (b.1944)
Tolkien’s Gown. London: Constable & Robinson Ltd, 2004
A delightful first edition, closely and thoroughly revisited by the author, whose annotations are innumerable and invaluable for the modern book collector. Tolkien’s Gown profiles 20 major literary works of the 20th century, from publication to their subsequent emergence on the market for modern first editions. A mixture of literary criticism and insights into the rare book trade, it is a treat for book collectors and bibliophiles. Gekoski provides a wealth of anecdotes and further comments on book collecting and connoisseurship, while helpfully updating for the 2022 market the values of the books he describes.

Octavo. Original red cloth, gilt lettering to spine (cloth faintly marked), dust jacket.

Buyer’s premium is payable, with a significant portion donated by Christie’s to English PEN, but note that no VAT is payable on hammer price or buyer’s premium.
