I honestly hate these editions so much, I'd happily pay protection money to not have them.

Just as well I'm not a completeist or I'd have to buy a set :)

I agree and I have these horrible copies, I can't come up with any redeeming features for them :(

If anyone has any of the Guild Silmarillion reprints kicking around, you know where to send them...

Auction listed as

"J R R Tolkien - The Silmarillion", does not just include the trade paperback :(

One for Khamûl, it has a Silmarillion in it.

This is like almost any other copy of the Silmarillion. I see the listing includes the phrase "Status - unread"...

I'd love to know the percentage of copies of Tolkien books generally that have actually been read. It is pretty low, I think. Whenever you see a boxed set of LOTR paperbacks, only the first book usually has signs of reading. I think a lot of them are purchased as gifts.

The price on this book is not the issue for me; the grading as very good + seems rather questionable given the condition of the spine.

Another one of those "Rare" 3rd edition, 20th printings. What a joke! The book might be worth $1.50.

Sorry, one more. This one made me laugh: "“Very possibly the worst copy on eBay."

Why even bother listing it then?
