That's a pretty specific estimate.

Cut signature from one book and stick in another? I just see stuff like this as worthless -- two books ruined by one signature with no provenance.

I have never been a fan of 'tipped in' signatures, but this is mad, both books ruined :)

It has been updated now, what did she originally claim on this probably 1973, has £0.60 as price, edition of the paperback?

As an aside, I am very grateful that Unwin Books printed the price on the front of the book for early copies, makes spotting genuine examples on eBay so much easier

eBay Item #162162499131

In used condition, described as both acceptable and well-used.

Looks like it had a tour scuba-diving as well.

OMG here is a good one and a seller to be aware off. He is selling this book and I asked for a pic of whole book, he then posted up different signatures. When challenged they advised that he/she did not own the book but would help sell it to me from another seller etc etc
I declined the offer ! - item reported

The first is to cut 1,938 signatures of J.R.R. Tolkien, dedicated to Miss E. Bradley, sells for $ 3,500

The other two belong to the book that he has not sold it for $ 2,350 from Gray Collections

Good detective work Tolkieniano! That seller is definitely just grabbing images from around the web to pretend they have something worth selling. Total scam.
