I'm looking for it too! (--surprise, surprise...)

Hmm... I like the stamp; interesting. However it doesn't look like the best copy. laurel, did you buy the one on eBay in mid-October (J.R.R. TOLKIEN ~ THE SILMARILLION~ DELUXE 1st Ed Presentation Issue Full Leather), which went for C $300/£188? That copy was the one highlighted here for Buy-It-Now C $750; quite a low price they ended up accepting. I take it this one (that just went) wasn't an auction either (i.e. it was a Buy-It-Now or Make offer listing?

Hi
Yep i got the £188 one. I was suprised myself to be honest. Offered them a low figure expecting ot have ot negotiate a little only to then have it accepted! Happy days. Mine has some fractional gilt loss on spine but can live with that.
No this latest one was an auction as well- thats 2 in just over a month!

Here is folio deluxe. At £200 now - i think it will go higher but maybe worth a go if you havent got it?

I don't like Roverandom enough to bid on this book, but it would certainly make a fine edition to someone's collection.

Is it me, or are these Rankin - Bass film books fetching silly money?

I like the Rankin - Bass book but they are not that uncommon, I would have thought £40-50 would be more the correct price at the moment.

I agree, Trotter. (And I had meant to put this one in the wonders of ebay!)
