I'm not in the buyers market right now but I'd love to know more about the Mary Fairburn book when you have five. I don't recall seeing this book at the time of publication. Where was it sold?

It was published by Kelly and Rose, a small independent publisher in Australia (where Mary Fairburn lives). It had a fairly small print run and came and went fairly quickly from what I remember. It's a very nicely made book in my mind.

Thanks Urulókë. I will keep an eye out more locally to me if a copy ever comes up for sale.

I also have a bunch of fanzine duplicates that I should offer quickly in case any of the book people want to combine shipping... I can post pictures of any of these but there are a lot so I will only do so as needed, just ask. Also feel free to ask for more information about contents, or make an offer.

Hi Suziecran, sorry I was on vacation for a bit there, but I am back now. I have two Fellowship editions still available, which one did you mean?

#1 (Unicorn paperback), $10
#30 (Alan Lee hardcover), $70

Send me a private message (click on my username then "send message") with your location and which one, and I can let you know what postage costs would be. Thanks!

Since we're asking about these successfully, what about this one? "The Silmarillion, Houghton Mifflin, 1st print. Very Good/Fair (significant loss to jacket edges). Map is fine. $8"
24 Aug, 2024
2024-8-24 8:52:27 AM UTC
I was eyeballing that one, but really I just want a copy of Christopher's map out of the back to use as a poster/framed print. And so maybe I should be asking if anyone has a really decrepit copy of the 1977-style Silm with an ok map
