Ex libris though the bookplate is rather fetching! ?

This went for c. $900 - that's the heftiest price I've seen one of these go for in the last 6 months (ex libris or not).

Thank you much for the bump, and hello all. First time, long time. Been selling antique and collectible books for 3 1/2 years now. Long-time Tolkien fan and I have recently gotten into the Tolkien book market. It's a steep learning curve. If anyone has interest in this set and would like to know more or see more photos, please ask & I will do my best to accommodate.
