So cool to see such a diverse collection!

I’m also very envious of your 50th anniversary box set, as I have been looking for one for ages with no success.

Some stuff to arrive in the last months:

- Grafton first impression centenary Silmarillion PB printed in Australia 1991. First centenary edition?
- 1968 first impression LotR with publishers brochure. From George Bixbys collection of advanced reading copies and courtesy copies.
- Letter from Father Christmas pre-publication mock-up.
- First welsh edition of the hobbit
- First impressions of the first latin and estonian editions of the hobbit
- 4th edition, third impression hobbit 1982
- HoME limited deluxes
- Centenary hardback silmarillion, third impression
- new belarussian edition of the fellowship of the ring and the two towers.
- various polish amber editions: the 2001-2002 3 volume Alan Lee illustrated Lord of the Rings, 2 unfinished tales (garland cover from 2002 and Howe cover from 2005) and a silmarillion from 2004
- publishers slip from the polish 3 volume lord of the rings above
- Atlantis edition UT in polish from 1994, 2 more amber edition silmarillions in polish - 2002 and 2001. The share volume of relatively well-made hardbacks over a handful of years in poland is incredible.
- first impression of the 1984 one-volume lord of the rings in norwegian. I have never seen this in unfaded condition before and was absolutely thrilled to find it.

Great items, well done.

Very nice books northman, especially the polish jacketed editions.
Could you show more of the Letters from Father Christmas 'mock-up' ?

Beautiful items indeed, congrats!!!

Emilien:

The little GA&U Lord of the Rings flyer is the treasure in there for me. I picked up another flyer last month (but I don't have that one!). This one is waiting for my folks to bring over from the UK.

Sorry to sneak into your thread #sorrynotsorry

Thank you for the pictures northman ! Very nice and cool item
