For once, someone is actually honest. Very funny find.

Ahh Yes, the rare and elusive 1972 Seventh - Sixteenth - First Impression of the Third First Edition 1937.

Don't think I have one of those in my collection at the moment. Will most likely bid a small fortune to acquire this one.....

"TOLKIEN LORD OF THE RINGS -RARE TRUE UK 1ST/1ST"

... until you get down to the (relatively) small print, and see that ...

"OFFERED FOR AUCTION HERE WITHOUT DUSTJACKETS & IN GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE, ARE THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRINTS OF THE 2ND EDITIONS"

Here is another good one. A lot of them claim to be 'Rare.' However, not many make claims like this!
