Same, but unfortunately I'm not going to renew my library in the near future Sorry, I understood just now that I have to click "quote" when I reply to a post.

I don't contribute maybe as much as I ought to; but I'd like to say thank you, too - this site is triffic!

I've been focusing, the last year or so on The Hobbit and getting various PB and HB editions of that, while at the same time keeping an eye out for any deals that may pop up on any and all Tolkien items.

You?

My collection developed more and more from slipcased hardback editions to 1st printings/appearances and other interesting printings. Coming from collecting stamps my aim is getting a collection of mostly all important releases (UK,US, German). Especially the older stuff will remain more a dream, I think...
But it's very exciting to look at other collections, revealing similarities and differences, and being more inspired.
