Re: First Editions

I may be wrong on the absence of the appendices. Looked at Letters and found a reference to corrections being made prior to the date of publication of Return of the King. Also, check out LoTR Collector's Site, which describes the first editions of LoTR and how they can, to an extent, be identified. It makes no reference to the abscence of a appendix. www.tolkien.nu/collectors/bibliography.htm. Another less informational bibliography is at www.forodrim.org/arda/tbchron.html. Do you think you have found a first ed.?
