FWIW,

These are 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st.

So, 2nd impressions might give you all of them with the smaller HC logo (and the last 4 have the smaller logo).

I will not be seeking out 2nd impressions myself - I just wanted to have an HC version of each book with the correct font (and in the case of RotK, without the subtitle on the front).

I'm used to Tolkien dealers being cheeky, but that is cheeky on more than one level.

I know the seller and asked him about it - it's not a serious offer, it's just a way to circumvent ebay's rules on exchanging contact details.

ADC Books is the guy who used to sell Ruth Lacon and Ted Nasmith art? Am I remembering him right?

Yes

I must be a doofus as I didn’t get it - how does doing that allow one to circumvent eBay’s rules on exchanging contact details?

Should we report this seller to eBay, as the seller is deliberately trying to circumvent eBay's rules.
