Criminy. Awesome. I have a signed one and that would be better by far than the generic archival box it is in now.

Great work on the facsimile Stu. That's also one of my favorite non-English language editions of the Hobbit. Aside from it being pretty hard to find.

Congrats Stu. Great acquisition. Also looking for this one

63/4 LotR signed? That's a treasure for sure!

Good luck!! I'll always be keeping my eye out for a copy with a better jacket, but I decided this time it was worth getting a lesser copy unless I never find one. I figure this will be easy enough to sell if I ever upgrade!

It says, "First published in one volume 1968" 30s net on spine.

Ahh, you are referring to the signed 1968 one volume paperbacks. Gotcha. I believe A&U gave those out to booksellers who ordered more than a specific number of copies (1 signed one for every 100 ordered, or something like that).
