I can only assume that this listing - a used paperback "Children of Hurin" for £99 - is in error.

Again, wellinghall, these are really now very collectable --& triple figure prices, for these prized paperbacks, are quite common. Keep up...

Why would anyone bid on a set of Book Club reprints, one of which is falling apart?

Hard Back Tolkien Book Set - THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, LORD OF THE RINGS

Yeh, serious bidders only --on an auction where I can't even get the book title right! The Hobbit/LotRs --same difference...

Hi Red,

Good question - though the estate would have to come down on the seller, not Saul & co - the astute follower will have noticed that they have even removed Tolkien from their own business name (Middle-earth Enterprises, used to be Tolkien Enterprises). http://www.middleearth.com/about.html

In wrangling with the Estate over the years, it is clear that they do not have rights to anything "Tolkien".
