RIP Barbara Remington, illustrator of 60s paperback editions of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”

Yes, I was not familiar with these covers but that is exactly what my copy of Bored of the Rings looks like.

Yup, these were the covers of the books I read in 7th grade, 1968. After those wore out, I got the ones with Tolkien’s illustrations on the cover. But definitely the original Bored of the Rings cover is the only canonical one.
