I discovered this book a couple of months ago:
https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/auctions/305027441170and as a total fan of most of easton press's work (I believe easton press did this one?) I have become obsessed with trying to find a copy for myself. I think the ISBN is 0739408259.
Whats the best way to find this book? Just scour ebay endlessly? Are there any members here that might have one they wouldn't mind selling?
Thanks for any and all answers in advance!

This volume was only distributed to the SFBC members and was a relatively small print run. Was not done by Easton Press. Not available outside of the bookclub, they appear from time to time, you'll get one if you're patent.
I have one, took me a while to find it too.

Good to know! I thought maybe the book club had asked easton press to make it for them, since the materials and design are shockingly identical to all of the easton press books I have (fabric end sheets, gold page edges, silk ribbon, same thick acid-free paper, etc.) It'd be so cool be able to hold one at some point and compare them.
May I ask how much did you pay for yours, or what should I expect to pay when I find one?

Based on recent sales I’d say 150-200$ is probably about right.
There’s no Easton Press One Volume LOTR to compare it to and I think comparing it to their 3 volume set would be apples to oranges.
