Wow, fantastic Emilien! Congrats to you...also snatching books from Urulókë?...if your account gets deactivated you'll know why

No snatching was evident! Emilien did nothing snatch-like, he made a fair offer (without knowing of any others) and the seller accepted it. I wish him all the best, with hearty congratulations from me. Glad the book found a happy home where it will be enjoyed and truly appreciated. ?

Congrats! I was hoping that someone from here got it. I was far too late!

Sounds good, let me work on that. Let me see if I can get them cleaned up and presentable...

I always like that '92 Boxed LoTR. They did cheap out by not having proper maps, though -- so was the beginning of the end in some regards.

Agreed, also the overall paper quality of this printing seems lacking compared to my earlier volumes in this series. Feels like a lower quality.

Definitely. I still like it though. And even the textured paper used instead of buckram does look appealing. I just wish people would not advertise them as being leatherbound when it is is very obviously paper...
