Someone bought it !! (at full price $75,000)

Wow!

Here's an odd bit of spiel -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/J-R-R-TOLKIEN ... tible&hash=item2ebde97fe2

Under the heading 'Origin' the vendor has written 'India' - giving the impression that this edition comes from the sub-continent.

And, in the main body of the text we get this -

"IN THE FINISH OTHER MAP"

- whatever that means.

Careful garm --that post is perilously close to "Wonders"...

Nice. Have we not seen this Miramar quote before though? (Is the Tolkien dealer not DM?) I seem to recall it being mis-used the last time it popped up (& discussed here on TCG); although I'm not suggesting it's being mis-used in this case.

Interesting. I wonder what became of the lone bidder on the last auction. Perhaps they miscounted the zeroes before hitting the bid button.

Not eBay, but...

I found that New Worlds, Nr. 168 from November 1966, containing the Daphne Castell interview with Tolkien, is available for quite decent prices at Amazon.co.uk. I ordered a copy today.

Incidentally, a copy is being offered on eBay as well:

I already own a copy. It contains a really interesting interview from one of Tolkien's former students.

Congrats on the find...
