Additions to Éarendel’s collection

Nice additions Éarendel, I've got two out of those three but don't have the Tolkien Journal with the mushroomed cover.

Lovely finds. I too recently got the 60th having lost my original somehow during a move. I love that Drout volume. Could we possibly see more of the binding on that one when you have some time?

Great additions! I've had my eye on getting a Drout Limited Edition for a while and haven't been able to convince myself to spend the money.

Sewn binding.

Thanks Mr. Underhill. It’s a nice, sturdy binding and is overall a well-made book, pleasant to handle!

Thanks to you both. That is a beautiful book.

Added some new volumes (and upgrades of existing copies) to my collection over the last 6 months.

- The Mallorn is no. 14, which reprints Christopher's 'The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien: A Brief Account of the Book and its Making';
- The book with blue boards is the first edition of Pearl;
- The book with dark green boards is the 1988 Unwin Hyman edition of Tree & Leaf (came without a dustjacket unfortunately, but the price was very good).
- Gawain is a 3rd impression
- Tree & Leaf is also a 3rd impression, in fine condition though.
- Unfinished Tales is a first edition.
- The Annotated Hobbit is the first UK impression of the revised and expanded edition. Waited a long time to buy this because of the rumours of a third edition, but went ahead anyway as it came up for a good price.
- Lays and WotJ are first editions.

The three Moleskine notebooks are especially nice!

Very nice, congrats. I have been looking at the Moleskin notebooks for a while and keep ditching a purchase, but they look rather lovely.

Congrats! The "Hobbits in Holland" was a very nice find. Still looking for this one myself.
