Laurel & Wellinghall,

Nice pics!

Jlong, thanks

Laurel, thanks. The Silmarillion is half-bound in leather - possibly not by one of the very best binders, but still a nice, professional job. It isn't one of my signed ones.

Very nice pictures and collections. It'll take me many years to get near this

I have been collecting for nearly forty years, and my wife for almost as long

"Near" is a very elastic term. And too bad my wife is not interested in collecting books.

I think I got my first Hobbit for Christmas when I was seven, so that makes it just a few months short of forty years

Here is a picture of my collection, looking fantastic, on account of appearing to have arrived in one piece...

As the removalists still have about 15% of my stuff (and I will get it at some random point in the future), I was relieved that all of the books came through in the first batch.

Wow Stu looking good
I especially like the orange limited edition version although i wouldnt recommend tape - you will find it will damage the surface once removed - lol

Ironically, box 19 - the orange one - mostly contains low value stuff!

I really like your display technique too - I really have a good sense of what you like to collect and how proud you are of your efforts!
