Just a note - bruffyboy started this thread just over a month ago, and so far it's garnered some 2000 views, as well as thrusting out some unexpected roots.

All I can say is, well done! And keep it up.

Someone mentioned wanting one of these recently. I just saw this and thought I'd post it. It is that special edition of Roverandom (25 copies).

Yes, that was me. But I don't think I will be able to buy it in the next 5 years or so. Too expensive for my student's purse
But quite nice to see there are still copies circulating, and thanks for your attention!

I'm waiting for one of the 25 Silmarillions to come up ...

First copy I have seen for sale in around 3 years. Anyone ever see a rebound Hobbit or Silmarillion from Thornton's? Do these exist?

I have seen the Silmarillion but never the Hobbit, but somehow I just know it also exists... just never had a chance to see it before.

I added the following note to my previous post:

[Italics have been added for clarity to most of the above paragraphs, as they (originally) were clearly a mis-interpretation of what Beren said. Furthermore they were far too specific to the example Beren gave; the specifics of which I new nothing about --I should not have commented in this way. BH 5th Sept. 2010]

Btw, I suspect a Thornton's Silmarillion may surface fairly soon too...

New book up: http://collectingtolkien.blogspot.com ... arper-collins-deluxe.html and can we please get more than one 'follower' for the blog?! Whoever it is looks so lonely all by themselves!

I don't think anyone here is the follower, as any comments from guide members have been made in this topic and not on your blog.

Trotter - what a funny thing to assume! Whoever it is is likely to have at least read about it here, as I only posted here (and one other tolkien forum) and the follower joined that day. Possibly a lurker, but either way I am looking to double my followership ;)
