I like the Cascades editions. This one is interesting as it has the Lord of Eagles on the cover, very unusual.

Yeah, I have the other Cascades, but this one has always seemed like the prettiest one.

Hi everyone, thought I'd use this thread to introduce myself. I'm based in London and starting collecting Tolkien books this year. Have really enjoyed this community and reading through the different threads. It's been fun discovering all the different variations of editions. I really enjoy the revised editions of Lord of the Rings, the different Silmarillions (insane people are bidding £20 - £30 for first editions when they are a dime a dozen) and early edition Hobbits (although so hard to come across any.)

Great collection, as you appear to live very close to me, if you ever want to see my collection send me a PM, you would be welcome to come and have a look.

Thanks Trotter - that would be very much appreciated! Will DM for sure.

This photo looks familiar to me as well, I think from FB. Very nice shelf there. Very well put together.

Yep, saw it over on Reddit. Welcome to TCG.

Just arrived today…what do y’all think? Pretty minimal fading as far as these volumes go.

Yep, that's really good. Better than 99.99% of copies, I think.

Is this the copy that goftheseas had on eBay?
