To all members (new and old), please take a moment to introduce yourselves by repsonding to this thread. What interests you about Tolkien, what you like to collect, what you are looking for (what's your holy grail), etc. Just a short note will do! I think it will help people connect with others who have similar interests.

Thanks, Jeremy

I have been reading Tolkien for 25 years and collecting 'seriously' for about 10 years. Obviously I enjoy exploring Middle-earth, so I usually have a book by or about Tolkien on the go most of the time.

I am also interested in the publishing history of the books and book production in general. I collect British editions of books by Tolkien as well as letters and and other obscure bits and pieces.

I am looking for a 1st Edition Hobbit and a copy of Songs for the Philologists at bargain prices - well you can hope can't you??!!!! More realistically I am looking for copies of The Oxford Magazine from the 1930s and a copy of Tolkien and the Spirit of the Age (1987, Tolkien Genootschap ‘Unquendor’) Any help would be appreciated.
