I really wouldn't like to lose a book trying to get £10 or £20 off the price if you want it.
Completely agree. But that was why I put in a best offer. I didn't want it enough. If I had "really wanted" it, I would of course used the BIN.
Congrats on purchase. And indeed, I too have only seen a few advance copies over the years.
There was a review copy, clearly photographed, & (I'm guessing) in better condition, that went on eBay in early August for £20...

Need to do a little research on it so if anyone has any ideas would welcome it.
Did the Tolkien Society have a library somewhere in 1977 ?
or
Has someone just made this up and in which case why?
You see hours of entertainment for £40 !
I asked Charles Noad about this and he thinks it was by the same lady artist who did a cover illustration for his 1977 Tolkien Society booklet 'The Trees, The Jewels, and the Rings'. Charles is trying to find her name.
Thanks Trotter
appreciated
I must have missed the other advance Sil when nothing in header to suggest it was anything other than a standard copy.
Note to self: Check every Sil listing to make sure

laurel, I must have missed it for the same reason as you!
And there was indeed a Tolkien Society library in 1977.

Note that this is a private auction, so I would very strongly recommend that any bidder only use a bid sniping service and not eBay proxy bidding, as there is an *extremely high* risk of shill bidding on private listings.
