Hey Beren,
I got the poster tube finally today (must have been customs holding it up) and I found some TolkienLibrary bookmarks inside. Cool! I'm so jealous, I have to go figure out how to print up some of my own now.  Can I add them to the Art/Bookmarks section of the Guide now?

Does anyone know if Alan Lee wrote the date when he signed all the Children of Hurin Deluxe editions? I noticed that all the copies for sale on ebay signed by Alan had the date. But I found one for sale on another website that is signed by both tolkien and alan lee but is not dated.

I have added an article to the database for Bloomsbury Auctions results over the past few years (going back to late 1998).
Bloomsbury Auctions article I hope to add similar data pages for Bonhams, Christie's, Sotheby's and other auction houses as time permits. Useful? Better way to organize the data? Let me know!
