It's been a long time since I shared my latest finds and as I just received a huge package weighing (17 kg!!!), this is a good opportunity to do so

- HotH 2007
- LOTR Millenuim 1999
- LOTR 1998
- H/LOTR 2013
- Hobbit Catlin deluxe 2013
- LOTR 1981
- LOTR 2002
- LOTR Ace 1965
- LOTR 1976

I have been looking for Ace Books in excellent condition for a long time and I am delighted to have finally found them. Patience paid off : the condition is very good and the price much lower than the current ones. Part of LOTR history in my library
Already having the 3 hard-to-find box sets (2007, 2013, 2013), I will be able to pass them on to my friends.

Wow that’s an amazing collection to get in a single box! Glad it made it safely to you.

Indeed ! The whole thing was packaged in a first box which was itself packaged in another larger and very sturdy box. Each set was then packaged separately in bubble wrap and the Ace even had a special packaging for each volume.
Despite everything, when the package arrived, I felt better

That is a fantastic collection to come from only one box! Congrats!

Incredible!! Did you find all of these on eBay recently? I’ve been scouring the internet for a 2007 UK HoTH! But I’m only finding the Houghton Mifflin ones :(

No, it was a direct purchase with a collector (whom I knew via TCG by the way). On the other hand, I found my first HotH 2007 box on Ebay in 2020, yes. As for the 2013 box or the Catlin deluxe Hobbit, I imagine you have to be very patient
