The price isn't horrible, but the condition description is quite funny: “Vintage condition.”

I would certainly be interested in that set as I don't own it, especially for around the price you are offering it or a trade (if I own something you would want).

I could totally be looking in the wrong places, but I'm not sure a lot of these sets are up for sale (regardless of impression) at the moment. I've always really liked the dust jackets.

Amazon.co.uk has none: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Lord-Ring ... TF8&qid=1362796963&sr=8-1

Amazon.com has one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listin ... TF8&condition=collectible

Abebooks has one: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Searc ... l&sortby=17&sts=t&x=0&y=0

I guess it is possible I'm looking at the wrong edition or searching by ISBN is too limited.

Anyone nab this one on eBay. I think I was a few minutes too late.

I think this may have been posted before, but it is such a "great" deal that it deserves to be posted again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Hobbit-by ... ks_UK&hash=item589c4a40b1

I am bit confused by this listing. Why have "the engravings and a few pages in the back" been "replaced from another copy"?

Any thoughts?
