Did you buy this directly from the Bodleian? Or from a 2nd hand dealer?

If from the Bodleian looks like they have about 100 left or so, if they are sending them off in order that is.

Bought it directly from the Bodleian. It was faster then I expected it... and didn't had any problem with customs duty as I live in Germany

I also found postage to very quick (was DHL IIRC). Customs wasn't an issue as was below the collection threshold for a seller that does less an X,000 sales to NZ.

From the collection of Ursula Dronke (née Brown) in my collection.
All books are signed (Brown and Dronke) and annotated in Dronke's hand. One book is signed by Joan Elizabeth Turville-Petre (née Blomfield), wife of Gabriel T-P.
I like to think about Tolkien and Dronke and the bond with these books.

I love this poster, have it framed on the wall in my living room (56/100)

Today I received the 11th Linguaphone. Tolkien read parts of Lesson 20 "At the Tobacconist's" and Lesson 30 "Wireless", which is the earliest known recording of his voice.

Complete collection of discs, books, guides, dictionaries, grammars, advertisements etc.

You think I've overdone it?

No, but I think you need to do a classification system for them so that people know which is which

In this community, no one has ever overdone it. A wonderful accomplishment sir!
