Hello... I was wondering... does anyone have information regarding the rarity of the different states of the first UK edition of Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien (1981)? The three states are listed in Hammond pp. 350-351 and I'm curious as to how many of each are out there. My copy seems to be the 2nd state. Does anyone have the first state or either of the two variants of the third state?
Thanks!

From memory, I asked the same question on here a few years back and had a few replies (and I think there were a mixture of states). I'm not having any luck finding the thread, though. Mine is state 2, for what it is worth.

Mine is state two as well (and signed by H. Carpenter

Can't be bothered going & double-checking my copy, but I'm almost certain it's second state, having checked previously.
