A rare site these days, that one.
I've picked up two of these at various times for c. $20 each. Things have changed!
This was too expensive, IMHO, given the description states ex-libris with stamps and markings. I think these are fairly common. Only the offprint with just Tolkien's contribution is rare, from what I can tell.

I think I paid $50 for mine back in the day. My records on what I paid for the offprint are less clear, but looks like under $100.
