If anyone here plans to celebrate the 70th anniversary of RotK by getting a 1987 BCA or 1990 UH version, I have some copies left from when I was shopping for matching sets. They are all in very good condition and appear unread. 10€ (each) plus shipping (from Germany). PM me for more pictures.

The Shirrifs' February picks seek to highlight the wonderful short stories that Tolkien produced, both around Middle-earth and outside of it. The mini box set is a must and the green signature paperback series looks great on the shelf.
