I can only repeat Wellinghall.

This looks like an automatically generated sales talk, composed from information from the net, without someone checking for basic correctness. The misdescription of facts plainly on display is repeated from in the previous item in this topic's gallery in almost identical manner. But with the priceless (!) addition, that in this case 'Revised Edition' is printed prominently on all three dj's on display! Someone has been thoroughly asleep while putting this up for sale.

I'm not as charitable as Mithrennaith when it comes to this seller. I don't think it's a question of someone being asleep. Apart from the fact that all of this vendor's descriptions are this florid, he's also guilty of deception (in my opinion) in that he's getting us in with the promise of a first ed, first printing set in djs, and only tells us of the true facts later.

I bought my own set for £45.00 ; they're in much better nick, too.

Okay, this isn't a book, but take a look -

Now theyre making things up stories of their own...

Whatever ...

This description caught the eye...

TOLKIEN: SAURON DEFEATED HB 1st/1st overpriced!!!

BH

I'm sure something is happening tonight...

For once, someone is actually honest. Very funny find.

The Hobbit

What Edition/Impression do you think we have here?...

BH

Ahh Yes, the rare and elusive 1972 Seventh - Sixteenth - First Impression of the Third First Edition 1937.

Don't think I have one of those in my collection at the moment. Will most likely bid a small fortune to acquire this one.....

"TOLKIEN LORD OF THE RINGS -RARE TRUE UK 1ST/1ST"

... until you get down to the (relatively) small print, and see that ...

"OFFERED FOR AUCTION HERE WITHOUT DUSTJACKETS & IN GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE, ARE THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRINTS OF THE 2ND EDITIONS"

Here is another good one. A lot of them claim to be 'Rare.' However, not many make claims like this!
