Hello All,
I just recently made this account after doing some research into rare Tolkien books, and this community seems like the street corner for all collectors to meet! I know this copy is rare and, in fact, might be sought after by others in this community as well. That being said, I am hoping posting here might reach someone considering selling their copy.
Happy Book Hunting,
TWKA

Welcome!
I don't have one to part with, sorry, but there's a chance someone here might. Good luck with the hunt!

Thanks,
I should mention I already dealt with the guy selling on Abebooks here:
https://www.abebooks.com/signed-first- ... -R-Tolkien/19189851676/bd
but he gave me an uneasy feeling suggesting we do "Paypal family and friends", and I'm people here know how that story ends.

Ah,
You should be wary of sellers that want to go off process and remove buyer protections, definitely.
I will say that I know Mark of Copper Dragon Books from many prior personal dealings, and I absolutely don’t think he’s trying to pull anything, just keep his costs down. It might be worth discussing with him further to see if you can arrange something you are both comfortable with.
Always trust your gut, though.

That's unfortunate to hear! I was excited about that prospect working out, but I think we both have moved on.
I would LOVE to have this, however
1) my wife would shoot me (this is mostly because of "2)")
2) due to the scarcity of this edition, it would be INCREDIBLY expensive
I call it the 'unicorn' of books. (Something highly prized, yet incredibly rare, possibly unobtainable)
