Wonderful to see Rob, congrats.
Should make you you have special feelings owning an old book like this one, aside from its bibliographical importance.

Excellent addition, thank you for sharing! What impression is that Introduction to Old Norse missing the dustjacket?

Tuor, apologies the Old Norse printing is 1949.

The new Easton edition, Fall of Numenor is in.
Review copy English & ME studies.
The 1945 Welsh review and 1914-24 Leeds University Verse arrived this week.

Excellent additions, thanks for sharing! I still can’t decide how I feel about Easton’s “Fall of Numenor” font. Better than some of the earlier ones but I would have preferred the style of Beowulf or NoMe.

Nice additions to your collection! That Proceedings doesn't show up very often any more. What impressions are the offprints you have?

Excellent addition! Looks like at least a 2nd, 5th, and 6th impression in the second photo plus one of the early American printings? Is one of those in the back row a 1st impression? They all are in great condition.

Proceedings was a fantastic find! Congrats!

That seems to be the original binding also. At least the other couple I have seen in the past have been bound the same.
