Interesting that the seller knows enough to highlight the very thing that shows this is a 3rd impression, but still indicates in the title that it could be a 2nd ?

In case anyone has followed the recent discussion on the first Swedish editions of LOTR and might be on the lookout - a decent looking set of the large format softcovers is up for auction in Sweden towards the end of the month:

The link is to the English version of the site.
I know it's been said many times, but take the estimate with a fistful of salt - a set of just FOTR and TT sold for SEK 1,260 on the Tradera website just 11 days ago.
Sold for c. $350
Okay so this seller (a charity) won't ship outside of Sweden, but this looks like a fairly decent copy of the first edition of the Tove Jansson illustrated Swedish translation of The Hobbit:

Looks like a copy that has been taken care of, and an easy work around if you enlist the help of a forwarding service.
It's not an area I'm familiar with, but I've seen that there is quite some interest on this forum in Tolkien RPGs.
This MERP from 1984 (English version) is on the Swedish site Tradera - it seems to have had very little interest (ends tomorrow) though that's probably because Tolkien has been mis-spelt
