Sharing here photos of my Silmarils, as I’ve gotten so much out of this community I thought I’d share the crown jewels of my collection. Thank you all for the knowledge and fellowship that made this collecting journey possible.

Emilien Any idea are we at so far? I only know there’s roughly 300 total (of the 1000) - including both signed/unsigned

Yes, I need to update my spreadsheet. Will do in the coming days
You can see a good count on BH website here (with scan of the plates) :

Brian has done an amazing work !

Yours is not in the list and will draw Brian's interest. My copy is #142 by the way :)

Also worth mentioning a new article written by BH about the process of producing signed editions here which is really interesting:

Woah this is incredible! Thanks for sharing! And that’s amazing that our copies were printing right after each others during the first batch all those decades ago…

Also, mind sharing the spreadsheet with me? Only if you’re comfortable doing so of course :)
