Now this is a really poor Hobbit

In a sensible world, that would be worth nothing at all.

For anyone looking for that rare 5th edition, 1st printing: https://affiliates.abebooks.com/c/9724 ... 526recentlyadded%253D1day

:)

This one from Hyraxia Books annoys me, because I politely gave them the correct print run numbers for the books (as supplied by HarperCollins), but they didn't even have the courtesy to respond, never mind update their listing to remove the untrue "reported to be limited to 1000 copies (by who???)" claim.

(They are also having a laugh with the price. 4th Impression LOTR is very common and can be had for 30 pounds (last one I saw actually went for AU$30, one before that 30 pounds). The Silmarillion is a 60-70 pounds book (max) and the second impression Hobbit similar).

The pricing doesn't bother me, mind, as anyone can ask what they like - just the false limitation claim. It is like the Peoples of Middle-Earth pulping claims that dealers like to throw out there, even though five seconds on Google shows them it isn't true.

I'm not sure if the description or price is more funny on his one. :)

I know it is hard to find, but I'm not sure it is 350 quid hard to find.

I agree it is quite hard to find as evidenced by the first post in this thread, though this would be to much for even a collector such as myself :)

If it sells, then quite honestly, I'll probably put my copy up for sale for 400. It is in better condition than that one :)

Edit: looks like it sold off eBay. Wonders how much it went for (Laurel???)
