I pointed out the mistake.
"Hi and thanks for the question. It seems I did make a mistake, that picture is not in this book. You see I happen to have a copy of the First US edition for sale as well and it seems I accidentally loaded that picture onto this ad by mistake. I have just took that picture down (I also checked all the other pictures on this ad and they are all correct). Thank you for bringing the mistake to my attention. If you have any other questions please feel free to write. Best Regards, Jason"

Anyone ever seen any of these before and know anything more about them (£75 is a lot for a cracker)?
A slightly different wonder on eBay.... protect your books from sunlight!

From the seller, "All three volumes are fine, obviously unread copies." Is that a cat jumping over a black rider? I do say!
The Cat is just a "Watermark" added to each of his photos. You can check by looking at his other items.
eBay item 350466413828
At more than $3500, I don't think "Mr Thrifty" is really an appropriate name for the shop

$3.50 is too much for a book by David Day. I have never seen the same old material recycled through so many different titles and publishers....
This is a little different "Wonder" of eBay, as it is simply me marveling at the current landscape of the eBay Tolkien collecting market. I was just taking a quick look (from the U.S., with search setting set to "Worldwide."), and the sheer volume of Peter Jackson movie related paraphernalia is simply astounding. So, using a few very obvious search terms, I determined what proportion of all items found were (at least) listed as books.
Tolkien - 88%
Hobbit - 55%
Lord of the Rings - 9%
Silmarillion - 97%
Only 9% of all items retrieved with 'LotR' turned out to be books. There are over 41,000 items that show up for 'LotR,' with only 8300 for 'Tolkien,' and 3100 for 'Hobbit.' I "wonder" how many 'Hobbit' items there will be, in about two years or so. I know I will probably end up watching these new movies, but there is a large part of me that wants to boycott. Oh well, at least we still have the Silmarillion for our imaginations.
