Unwyn Hyman Deluxe editions (LOTR / Hobbit)

The Hobbit seems more common that the LoTR. Anywhere from £50 to £75, I'd say. LoTR probably similar price, but comes up less often. There are eBay sellers that will claim these are gold dust, but they aren't that uncommon at all so long as you don't mind keeping an eye on eBay for a while.

I don't know what the print runs are for any of these books. I suspect the Unwin Hyman ones are lower than all but the final deluxe LoTR in this basic format, printed by HC. I doubt any of them are especially tiny runs, though (no matter how many exclamation marks our favourite eBay pals write after RARE! in their listings)

Thanks a lot for all the info!
