From the seller, "All three volumes are fine, obviously unread copies." Is that a cat jumping over a black rider? I do say!

The Cat is just a "Watermark" added to each of his photos. You can check by looking at his other items.

eBay item 350466413828

At more than $3500, I don't think "Mr Thrifty" is really an appropriate name for the shop

$3.50 is too much for a book by David Day. I have never seen the same old material recycled through so many different titles and publishers....

This is a little different "Wonder" of eBay, as it is simply me marveling at the current landscape of the eBay Tolkien collecting market. I was just taking a quick look (from the U.S., with search setting set to "Worldwide."), and the sheer volume of Peter Jackson movie related paraphernalia is simply astounding. So, using a few very obvious search terms, I determined what proportion of all items found were (at least) listed as books.

Tolkien - 88%
Hobbit - 55%
Lord of the Rings - 9%
Silmarillion - 97%

Only 9% of all items retrieved with 'LotR' turned out to be books. There are over 41,000 items that show up for 'LotR,' with only 8300 for 'Tolkien,' and 3100 for 'Hobbit.' I "wonder" how many 'Hobbit' items there will be, in about two years or so. I know I will probably end up watching these new movies, but there is a large part of me that wants to boycott. Oh well, at least we still have the Silmarillion for our imaginations.

I hope you are right about The Silmarillion, but I can't help but think that once Saul Zaentz and company have milked more millions out of Tolkien's legacy, they will be looking for additional opportunities.
As for the paraphernalia, I have to agree. I am simply astounded by the sheer volume of rubbish the first films have produced, and equally astounded at the people who eagerly rush to "collect" it. I shudder to think of the deluge of crap the next two films will generate.

I'd like to think that most people on our forums are not SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY so sadly you are excluded from this bargain.

This seller has been mentioned before but should know basic details about books before offering them for sale! i.e. Are they bound in leather, No they are not.
