Since the second signature is unobtainable now, thought I would point out this auction I just ran across.

Unaffiliated with seller.

For those who care, just ran across (and so added to the database) the CliffsNotes website for LOTR and The Hobbit.

TCG page for CliffsNotes

Not affiliated with this seller in any way, just an interesting item for you Hobbit collectors. I just saw this on Ebay today:

From the auction description: "The Israeli airforce distributed copies of the book among its officers, accompanied by a letter from the Head of Personnel Dept. in the Air-Force command. This 1st edition copy still has the original letter inside."

It is one of the more interesting Hobbit translations out there (I think).

The Tolkien Society are selling unlimited editions of the Tolkien material. Their first disc is identical to 'Facets of Tolkien;'; their second disc contains Tom Shippey (from 'Archives 4.), Humphrey Carpenter/Dr Havard (from 'Archives 3.) and an extra short talk by Barbara Strachey which is only found on the TS disc.

Also, after putting a note in with Nigel, I am going to also buy #1, #3 and #4.

#1 contains a recording of Donald Swann performing "Bilbo's Last Song" in addition to a lot of interesting material on CS Lewis.

#3 contains Humphrey Carpenter talking about his book The Inklings and interviewing R E ("Humphrey") Havard, physician to Lewis and Tolkien, and one of the original "Inklings".

#4 contains Tom Shippey discussing Tolkien.

#5 does not contain any Tolkien related materials, but still looks interesting (George MacDonald focus.)
