Spurred on by other members and to help my wider reading and understanding of the legendarium, I have started my own quest. Nothing special but the first of my single volume History of Middle-earth books. The Book of Lost Tales part one. A print on demand from Harper Collins via eBay in pristine condition and excellent value. As always on receipt I protected the dustwrapper in a paper/ transparent sleeve. More to come.

Quite a haul Urulókë, congrats!

Nice! Could you share more about the Asian Hobbit version somewhere in the middle of the picture?

Certainly! It is the 2015 Chinese slipcased edition of the Jemima Catlin Hobbit. I love the gold/black slipcase design on it. The interior illustrations are the same as the UK/US edition, of course, so this was primarily for the Chinese slipcase itself.
