Ok here are a few photos from me.
The first are two of my favourites. Beowulf not because it is especially rare as you can buy on abe (if have the funds) but because it was a real bargain £125. Had to have some stickers removed but it has come up a treat & camshell adds to it i think.
The second is Devils. Ironically this was one of my very early purchases and i have never seen one for sale since. My copy was alledgedly kept in a safe since purchase in the 40's and this could be true as condition for such a flimsy booklet is excellent. Whether there is any truth in it bringing to life Balrog I am not sure but a facinating read.
The final photo is part of my collection. The HOME & other reference books are elsewhere.
Will snap some more when get around to it
Enjoy

Urulöké,
I forgot about all these.
I can't believe how many books Andrew (Trotter) fits on those shelves!
Neil (Deagol), I like the "Uncommon magazines, journals and offprints" picture--very nice stuff.
Jeremy (Urulöké), I really like those bookcases.
Pieter's (Beren)collection makes everyone jealous.
Need to update my profile on the Tolkien Library, lots more books and bookcases since then
Very nice Wellinghall and some real rare ones
You have the 1925 booklet to match my Devils ! well done
What is the bound Silmarillion ? Signed?

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.
