It went for £499.
I spotted this book for considerable less before it hit ebay for sale elsewhere. Like the abe books lottery I was 10 minutes too late!!!!!

Wayne & Christina say it's good, so...

BH

Where did they say this out of interest?

Still can't find any comments from Wayne & Christina?

Wayne & Christina what do you think about this item, having said it is ok, I like backup

I'm not particularly familiar with Pauline Baynes's signature (other than images online), so asked Wayne & Christina if it was genuine. They said it was good. But really it was a out of my price range anyway, although I was interested. That was it.

I informed the seller about it being a Library Edition & had an interesting chat with them about the price it was pitched at etc --but it had been snapped up before we'd even exchanged more than a couple of emails.

Someone was keen. Was it you Trotter?

BH

Too expensive for me. Although I wouldn't mind owning P. B.'s signature, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Not great condition but decent price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-British- ... tible&hash=item27cada7084

Btw, that is (was?) an interesting price Jlong.

Hope nobody is bidding on this here, & I've gone & ruined it for them by bringing it to the forum's attention, but...

...interested in what this finally goes for.

I've probably mentioned this before (), but I got offered loads of these books a few years back, some of which were presents from CT & Priscilla to Michael. No idea why I didn't buy those ones, judging by this auction. Still, I'm happy with Michael's little 1979 paperback copies of The Silmarillion that I did (have the sense) to purchase...

Nice starting price.

Certainly a decent price at the moment, but buyers should be aware that-
1. FOTR and ROTK are both ex library with stamps inside and out.
2. FOTR and ROTK do not have the correct jackets. (9th and 8th imp. jackets).

To be fair the vendor makes this clear, but I see a lot of these kinds of listings going for much higher prices than (I consider) the true market value.

Here's a seller who isn't so clear in their (written) description...

J. R. R. TOLKIEN's THE HOBBIT/RARE 1st Edit.-7th IMPRESSION/ORIGINAL DUST JACKET
AUTHOR of THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

F/NF? This is a very nice copy, but any jacket with a piece physically detached & cellotaped together is neither "fine" or anywhere "near" fine! Just as well they provided so many images, to show condition.

Oh, it's the same seller!
