A fun thread to reinvigorate, with my latest acquisitions. Anyone else found more adverts in the last decade (!)?

I have a large poster which goes with this promotion, it is not a very exciting poster though.

That must have taken them about 5 minutes to knock up, Tolkien was selling so well that they could just really put his name on the poster

I found this just the other day in a second edition, second impression Two towers from -67.

Excellent. Very nice. Had not seen this one before.

I have this flier from 1999 which unfolds to reveal the large selection of Tolkien books available at the time.

A friend shared these on Facebook earlier today and gave me permission to repost them here. Enjoy!

Three Tolkien publisher catalogue covers

1989/90 catalogue cover

1989/90 catalogue interior

July-December 1993 catalogue cover

1989/90 catalogue interior pages

Centenary (1991) catalogue interior pages

Note the variant cover on the Tolkien Family Album...

As time goes by, I find these things more interesting than the books sometimes. Lovely to see.

Here is another - Christmas 2000
