Recently acquired an interesting piece of Hobbit 1987 50th Anniversary ephemera. A slip that you could send in, after purchase of a copy, to have a chance at winning a trip to Disneyland. Never seen this anywhere before. I’m sure Tolkien would’ve loved that 😅

Looks like the bookseller was in Tasmania, so would have been an expensive prize at the time. Back in those days, Tassie was much more of a backwater than today.

JRRTs dislike of Walt obviously had not reached down under at this point

Nice find Mr. Underhill!
