I think I got my first Hobbit for Christmas when I was seven, so that makes it just a few months short of forty years

Here is a picture of my collection, looking fantastic, on account of appearing to have arrived in one piece...
As the removalists still have about 15% of my stuff (and I will get it at some random point in the future), I was relieved that all of the books came through in the first batch.

Wow Stu looking good
I especially like the orange limited edition version although i wouldnt recommend tape - you will find it will damage the surface once removed - lol

Ironically, box 19 - the orange one - mostly contains low value stuff!
I really like your display technique too - I really have a good sense of what you like to collect and how proud you are of your efforts!

For many years my Tolkien collection was scattered throughout the house, some on shelves, some in boxes, some in the attic. I suspect that there is the odd box here and there still unaccounted for. Still most of it is in one room now and reaching some sort of order at last. One thing I have realised is that I still have a long way to go to get the collection that I want (of course)!
The first photo shows a corner of the room with Pauline Baynes’ famous maps and the full set of Josef Madlener’s postcard series, ‘Figures from Story and Legend’. The second one in the series and the second one from the left is the one entitled ‘Der Berggeist’ said (by Tolkien) to have been the ‘origin of Gandalf’. Below, on the top shelf of this wall, is a selection of mainly UK Hobbits.
Also on this wall are a selection of deluxe editions, academic works, Tolkien's minor fictional works and, as the wider photo shows, Silmarillion editions, box sets, other media and a selection of books with Pauline Baynes’ illustrations.
Below are some more detailed photos of these shelves. I will show the main wall in another post.
EDIT photos too large so will re-edit

Brilliant
Got a question (might regret asking it!)
Why six Puffin Hobbits?
1 maybe 2 but 6.
Nice pic so far
