If you ever wanted to know what was under the blue cloth on the UK 1st hardback Silmarillions

A fine copy

It may look like a '38 Hobbit upon first glance, but it isn't...it's a actually a '55 7th print.

This Hobbit edition is not on Deagol's article, but should be as it is a facsimile signature

Starting at a much more reasonable price

Aldiss sigs are very common so yeah I don't see it adding much if anything to a copy of another authors work, even Tolkien.

Not sure if this is the same copy, but the one I highlighted a little while back (link below) went for c. $180.
