I think it was for sale on Facebook this week.

Really?? Do you have a link??

That’s Berelach’s lot and I know for a fact he already has sold his SFBC copy.

Might be but I would recommend to get in touch with Devon. He might have a spare copy.
I would also add for those who have not done so, Devon is excellent to deal with. I have made quite a few purchases from him and have always been pleased.

Couldn't agree more!!

I found a great copy at a good price on Ebay at the beginning of the summer but the seller, after several months of procrastinating, canceled the sale :(

May I ask how much did you pay for yours, or what should I expect to pay when I find one?

I found one on ebay last month (unopened, still in plastic) and paid $100. I'd seen another a few months prior, also listed around $100.

Keep looking, you'll get one!

I’m so glad to hear this! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the kind words!! I have had another copy pass through but it had already been requested by another member here. I also recommend keeping your eyes on eBay best you can, as Mr. Underhill said, you'll find one with patience, good luck!!

Berelach I've saved two searched on ebay, one for the ISBN: 0739408259, and the other simply as "Lord of the Rings SFBC". Do you think I'm pretty well covered with this?

That sounds good, maybe Science Fiction Book Club Lord of the Rings spelled out also for good measure.

A little late to the party on this one: I hope you find one, and priced well! That's always the case, of course, but a few things:

  • to my understanding, it's not ACTUAL leather
  • I wouldn't be surprised if it's glued

To some, these factors might matter, but they're still worth noting so that you won't be pay too much, thinking that pristine materials were used for this.

Another site to find multiple listings of a book is Bookfinder:
https://www.bookfinder.com/?mode=advanced&new_used=*&first_ed=&signed=¤cy=USD
Right now they only have the regular SFBC edition 50 new & 86 used: listed on ebay, amazon, ABE, alibris, Biblio, Volare & textbookx.com.
Good luck.
