With regards to where the Signed Edition will be available for purchase: Here is a reply I received a couple of weeks ago from someone in Harpercollins.

"This £250 limited edition, if it happens, will be available exclusively via HarperCollins.co.uk and not available anywhere else. It's still speculative, so does not have a pub date assigned to it yet. It will probably come in the autumn, certainly not in April 2007."

Interestingly, the reply stated (though I did not ask) that it would be priced at £250. Though I imagine that the price could change (if indeed this edition ever makes it to print), but it looks that they are aiming to price it at £250.

Hi Beren,

Are you sure it was a 1st/1st Fellowship? Cannot find the auction in the completed listings. Cannot imagine a 1st/1st Fellowship selling for anywhere close to £100 (or close to £500 for that matter).

I saw a Worn (and poorly advertised) 1st/1st ROTK go for just over £100 alright.

Ebay seems to be a little quieter in general and prices have come down somewhat. But as always, the quality and rare editions still seem to sell very well.

I happened to order this from Amazon (adveristed as the 70th Anniversary Hardcover), but received a regular reprint of the 1995 Edition (duly returned). Not sure if it actually exists at all yet in Hardcover.

Yes indeed, would also be interested.

Seems to be a misplaced photo.

See this other auction listing from the same seller.

Looks like the seller mistakenly added the photo from the above listing to the 1915 Oxford Poetry Listing.

Regards.
