Re: First Editions

I do not have a First Edition LoTR (although I do have a first ed. 4th printing of the Hobbit, containing the "original" Gollum story), but, as I understand it, the appendices were not in the true first edition. They either came in during the second printing or the second edition in 1965, I don't recall which. But I may be mistaken.
