first time I have seen them all up for sale in one go!
eBay Item #251783308814

The description is not that useful for the listing, are they all first impressions?

I can see that the Tales is not the signed version.

"All books are Harper Collins editions."

For those interested in the first edition, first print of Tolkien Farmer Giles of Ham. Might look this ebay auction. It is a ex-library, but perhaps could be interested to someone here:

eBay Item #111569398324

A very good Deluxe edition of LOTR.

Have not seen one with no numbering on one of the books, a mistake that happened during the signing by Alan Lee.

I suspect Alan was meant to number them as he signed, and missed this one

3 non-matching volume numbers makes me suspect this was a reject set that probably wasn't supposed to be sold - someone at HC or the binders doing a relocation job....

Nice to see a copy of eBay item bn_21165438 in the jacket.

This is the set that sold for 230-pounds ish a few weeks back that also had **Dustwrappers** at that point. I bid on this set, but missed out (the condition isn't great, so I didn't personally want to go over 225). I suspect it was a reject set, and it is a shame the dust-wrappers have now been separated from it, as I suspect they were original for this specific set.
