lol
When queried the seller has told me her dad queued to get this signed for her birthday yet she can recall the exact date ?!! - odd that

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

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

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

Not sure if I have seen a copy with this bad a red fading on the dust-jacket spine before, in this case completely gone.

The blue is also badly faded.

If you have a set of these, then keep them out of the light or may end up like this.

You can see the original spines on the award winning tolkienbooks.net, http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/details.php?reference=82480

Yep, those ones have been up for sale for a little while. They are a stark warning of just how fragile some red pigments are! I keep mine reversed on the shelf.

Carefully chosen words from mustycats there: "is already out of stock at the publishers".

No mention of still available everywhere else.
