I know that Khamul likes bargain Silm's 
I think this item possibly does not fit the bill (£50, no dust jacket and a book club copy)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-R-R-TOLKI ... em415c533a92#ht_500wt_922
It is £40 today, what a bargain

If all those pages were blank --then yeh, bargain! But, the seller ain't wellnghall! (--& I'd hope he'd offer me that copy before bunging it on eBay.)

This is, unlike most eBay descriptions that I list, a rare item, but I question the slipcase description looking at the picture (shown below) 
Lord of the Rings - Alan Lee - Centenary Ed. - 1992 in slipcase £269.90 Buy it Now
All three books are in very good condition. All spines faultless and tight. Dustjackets not price clipped and all in very good condition with only minimal wear (The Two Twoers even in near mint condition). Only the slipcase shows clears signs of use and wear and is only in acceptable condition with scratches and rubbing off to corners. But since there have only been about 100 slipcased editions been issued according to Peter Collier from tolkienlibrary it is save to say this is rare!
Looking at the picture below, do people think this is acceptable (in fact is acceptable a correct term for books or slipcases)??

This one is very strange, a first edition library book (ROTK 3rd Imp 1957), but laminated in a second edition dust-wrapper, 9 years later at least and from another copy of the book????
I noticed that too Trotter, but just couldn't muster the effort to post it. Some people have too much time on their hands...

I'm sure a lot of you have noticed the 2nd UK Impression of the Hobbit that is listed on ebay. Also some of you may have noticed that some or most of the photo's were taken by myself some years ago. The link to the auction is:
The reason I'm posting this notice, the seller indicates the book is in the original cloth with repairs to the spine tips. Then the photo's of mine, show that book, but not the exterior. The photo's that have been added after my request show a fully rebound copy, which also appears to have been one that I had rebound, by the small JRRT monogram on the spine versus the runes. I just wanted to point out that something is very wrong on this auction. It may be legit, but something is a bit hinky. The seller has not answered my questions about whether it is rebound or not, says to read the description (mine) and then goes and posts photo's of the fully rebound copy. Just wanted to warn anyone who might be considering bidding on this auction. Photo's of the original 'repaired' cover are attached.

The Hobbit - First Edition Second Impression 1937
Starting price $3400 Buy it now $5600
Additionally, you will see in one of the pictures a note with JRR Tolkiens's signature dated June 1973. Now I have never had this signature verified but it is possible it is his true signature as Tolkien Died September 1973. Eitherway, this comes with the book.
or it was produced on an Inkjet by dunedain
