Splendid, ShadowFx! I was only seconds too late to snap it up, so consoled myself with this one:

Congratulations, ShadowFx and Éarendel!
Two great acquisitions, wonderful to see

Thank you Éarendel it is also a very nice acquisition that you have here 😀
Thanks Mauro D86 😊

Hi guys!
Let me show you some recent acquisitions. I'm very happy for the Report with the Appendix by Professor JRRT.

- The Hobbit, deluxe limited edition, 1999
- Smith of Wootton Major, 1st/1st, 1967 (first state)
- Report on the Excavation in Lydney Park, 1932 - it's a rebound copy
- The Hobbit, HC hardback, 1991

Very nice Mauro !!
Your collection is building-up smoothly

Nice acquisitions Éarendel and ShadowFx ! Well done

Very nice acquisitions Mauro 😊. Thank you emilien

That rebound Lydney Park is interesting Mauro D86...nice finds.

And Éarendel, nice on the Oxford Poetry, I recently picked up a copy myself but it's ex-library, yours looks to be in better shape.

Splendid Earendel, shadowFx and Mauro!

Loving the look of that Leaf by Niggle. Can you give us some details on it please, Northman.

I'm curious Huan if the 2003 printing of this edition is the first time Leaf was published on its own and if so how Trinity got permission? Mine is the third printing.

Congratulations, northman!

Is the dustjacket of The Sonnets of William Alabaster shorter than the book itself?

Not shorter. Some kind of tape around the edges that i dont dare to try to remove.
