I also think the brochure labeled 2001 is 2003 as it says “New for 2003”.

I also have this HarperCollins brochure which I believe is from 2002.

Thanks all for contributing to this thread, quite a comprehensive list now

Thanks Andy.

I probably quickly estimated a date when originally filing some time ago without looking properly......

[Edit] I have now updated earlier posts with correct years.

1979 - Direct Book Service - A Tolkien Bestiary

Really pleased to have found this advert, as my parents bought the book for me through this book club, still remember struggling with what other books to get over the next year.

Hahaha.

Great finds Trotter, this is very nice to see those flyers.

I have two more from The Netherlands. The first one “Tolkien, In De Ban Van Zijn Werk” is from Prisma Pocket, 1983. The text is by Max Schuchart, the Dutch translator. 16 pages.

The second one is from 2001 Uitgeverij het Spectrum. It reproduces the invitation for the “Hobbitmaal”, that Tolkien attended in 1958. Biographical details, adverts for the movies and movie merchandise, a reduced-price coupon on the “In De Ban Van De Ring” book, and a short Elvish dictionary. 46 pages.
