Sure thing, here's the copyright page:

A few more miscellaneous items, selling just on here initially - all priced at $25, apart from Mythlore #9 which is $15 as it has a bit of staining on the front and is partly unstapled (though pages otherwise in a quite good state):

Essays in Criticism, vol. VI, nr. 4 (1956) contains the essay "Adventure in English" by Mark Roberts which is an early piece on LOTR - not entirely complimentary, I might add!

The Sewanee Review, vol. LXIX, nr. 4 (1961), contains the essay “There and Back Again: The Romances of Williams, Lewis, and Tolkien" by W. R. Irwin (note that the cover is frayed at the edges - though perhaps it wasn't cut properly, as it is slightly wider than the text block)

Tolkien Journal #10 (from 1969)

Tolkien Journal #11 (from 1969)

Tolkien Journal #15 (from 1972) - special issue in honour of Tolkien’s 80th birthday

Mythlore #9 (from 1973)

Plus shipping at cost (from Sweden) - any questions, or if you'd like more pictures, just send me a message.

Update on this - I've put these on Tradera as job lots - one for the Tolkien Journals + Mythlore:

And one for the academic journals (plus a couple of other items with early essays):

Starting at the equivalent of $1, figured it's time for the market to see what they're worth!

Putting these up for sale on here as well as on the FB group:

History of Middle-earth "black" paperbacks with John Howe covers.

Volumes: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

As you can see if you zoom in on the spines, these have been read. If you need any more photos, just ask.

Asking SEK 200 (that's about $20) for each, plus shipping at cost from Sweden. I'm probably going to replace these with the new-style covers, which will cost me $15 each.

I do also have volume 3, but it's COVERED in pencilled notes on the Lay of the Children of Húrin, which only increases the value 😉

I'm selling this set of LOTR HC paperbacks with slipcase - the case is a little scuffed in places and FOTR is showing more signs of being read than the other volumes.

All volumes are the 1993 edition, but reprints - I think they may be from late 1996 or early 1997 as they refer (on the back cover) to "Book of the Century".

Plenty more photos available if you're interested.

I'm asking USD 50 plus shipping at cost (from Sweden) - send me a messsge if you'd like a shipping quote.
