I'm not in the buyers market right now but I'd love to know more about the Mary Fairburn book when you have five. I don't recall seeing this book at the time of publication. Where was it sold?

It was published by Kelly and Rose, a small independent publisher in Australia (where Mary Fairburn lives). It had a fairly small print run and came and went fairly quickly from what I remember. It's a very nicely made book in my mind.

Thanks Urulókë. I will keep an eye out more locally to me if a copy ever comes up for sale.

I also have a bunch of fanzine duplicates that I should offer quickly in case any of the book people want to combine shipping... I can post pictures of any of these but there are a lot so I will only do so as needed, just ask. Also feel free to ask for more information about contents, or make an offer. Listed here alphabetically.

Is the fellowship of the ring still available? I have the other two and would love to complete the set I know it’s been a year but fingers crossed!

Hi Suziecran, sorry I was on vacation for a bit there, but I am back now. I have two Fellowship editions still available, which one did you mean?

#1 (Unicorn paperback), $10
#30 (Alan Lee hardcover), $70

Send me a private message (click on my username then "send message") with your location and which one, and I can let you know what postage costs would be. Thanks!

Since we're asking about these successfully, what about this one? "The Silmarillion, Houghton Mifflin, 1st print. Very Good/Fair (significant loss to jacket edges). Map is fine. $8"
24 August
2024-8-24 8:52:27 AM UTC
I was eyeballing that one, but really I just want a copy of Christopher's map out of the back to use as a poster/framed print. And so maybe I should be asking if anyone has a really decrepit copy of the 1977-style Silm with an ok map
