Got four new volumes for Christmas plus a rather lovely bookmark.

I picked up something strange today. A 1st print of Children of Hurin. Not strange you say? How about it being… bound upside down?! Lol.

Rotate it 180 degrees

Classic "Far Side":

No guys, it really is bound upside down. Haha.

I guess this qualifies as my last acquisition of 2022. Happy NY all.

Very nice. I’m still waiting for my mug. I ordered it 3rd December but I know I’m the other side of the pond and there are postage strikes here in the U.K..
Fingers crossed it arrives soon.

Found a small handful

Excellent finds Berelach! Thats 4 out of the set of 15, if memory serves...great job, brother.

Nice clean first edition of Atlas of Middle Earth from US ebay, I took a chance but no damage or writing (it was actually the cheapest advertised of the 1st editions, the pictures on ebay looked a little yellow but that was just bad photography and the other copies had some damage so price is not always an indicator)

Mark on front dust cover appears to be perhaps ancient dry nose debris under the protective cover, I'm sure it will clean off!
