It's described as being in 'New, unread condition'. That would explain a lot.

*never had Jackson figured as one who has a library. Go figure.

From what I have seen so far, I think his copy of The Hobbit could also be described as 'new, unread condition'.

I just thought this was bizarre.

Now if they had a case of each book, I could see a classroom teacher buying a set of all three...

This is just a bit too much. Almost two hundred copies of TTT (and Orlando to boot).

Again!

This seller already listed this copy (or one very like it) closely followed by a slightly different one (again with a very distinct binding), if I recall correctly. Certainly unusual.

I'm trying to understand what it is I'm seeing here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LORD-RINGS- ... m43aad7446a#ht_500wt_1413

Is it a custom binding of the Red book of Westmarch. I haven't got a clue



Edit: looks like I posted at the same time as Elwë LOL

I personally think that binding is hideous.
