Yus, all mine have the same number.

I don't know for sure (someone else will undoubtedly remember) --but it's perfectly possible.

I ordered a numbered signed book (totally unrelated to Tolkien collecting) last year. It was one of two (projected) volumes, but the second volume wasn't published until later in the year; a set, but not ever sold as a set. As part of the pre-publication ordering, for volume two, they asked if I wanted the same number as I had received for volume one --clearly they had noted what number I previously received. (Or, of course, one could simply request the lowest available number, if that way inclined! )

Folio could well have done this (--I can imagine them doing this); they're pretty good.

A good price indeed! Anyone here go for it?

That seems rather high. If I'm going to spend that kind of money (which I don't have), I think I'd rather have an item signed by J. R. R. Tolkien or go for a nice 1st, 1st set of The Lord of the Rings (or one or two of the three books).

Yes I did, but this was to much for me.

This looks to be a very good example of a very scarce box-set (US copies and not the even rarer UK copies)

I bought this set (the UK editions) last August on eBay for £75. I thought this was a not bad price!
(But, yeh, it isn't very common.)
