Nice set. I didn't get it.

The seller had it up for £400 (although under reserve), with Buy-it-now option at £600. He then listed the same copy (while the other auction was still open & running) at £200, with But-it-now option at £300. Clearly someone thought that was pretty good for a set still in shrinkwrap. Grandfather worked at GA&U apparently.

This is quite an attractive price (if you missed this edition), provided the seller understands that only the first five hundred (?) were signed, & is sure this is one of them.

J.R.R Tolkien Tales From The Perilous Realm
Buy-it-now: £25 (Inc. postage) [Possibly only a UK auction.]

This de luxe collector’s edition includes the first edition text and features an exclusive colour frontispiece illustration on a fold-out sheet. The book is quarterbound, with a specially commissioned motif stamped in three foils on the front board, and is presented in a matching slipcase. SIGNED BY ALAN LEE.

Looks cut & pasted; so might be prudent to ask...

Was Buy-it-now £40, but it looks like this was amended yesterday to £25.

A good box-set at a very good price (£0.99)

Just curious how people feel about the second set here, with laminated dust wrappers. Preserved, yes, but...... ?

Yes i noticed that. They wouldnt be for me but for someone just starting collecting Tolkien or with limited funds I dont imagine they will go for a massive amount and would be a good way to buy a relatively cheap set of first editions.

Not quiete sure where to post this one....
