J.R.R. Tolkien Catalogue

Some highly coveted books there. Very nice. Now that's what i call a smaug hoard! Is that a Longmans Pleasure in Reading Hobbit I see there??

I've never seen that deluxe Alan Lee-illustrated LOTR box set (bottom row, second from the left), very cool!

I think quite a few people have already 'guessed' that these items that Tom is listing are from my collection, and as Tom mentions there will be at least one more catalogue of items hopefully later this year.

I am not leaving the site, but will only be collecting some of the new Tolkien publications that are released, and will be dealing in 'collectable' Tolkien material probably starting in 2026.

If you have queries about the items or any other items from my collection that may be for sale in the future, please can I ask you to contact Tom and not myself, as he is handling the sale.

So are you selling off the some of the older / more expensive stuff / dupes / shrinking your collection?

Wow, that's some eye candy there!

Hi all,

Tomorrow afternoon UK time I will be releasing a catalogue of fifty highlights from the collection of a Tolkien collector who embodies the collaboration, friendship and fellowship of this community.

The catalogue will be released by email to my mailing list (https://www.tomwayling.co.uk/register), and print copies of the catalogue will also be available for purchase.

Subsequent lists and catalogues from the collection will follow - it is just the first glimpse at a glittering hoard.

Tom

Link not working.

There is an errant bracket in the link.

The books are live on the website now https://www.tomwayling.co.uk/category/ ... kien-a-private-collection

Is there a list that includes all the original asking prices, even including those now listed as out of stock (other than presumably the print catalogue)?

You can click on the out of stock items and the landing page for each shows the asking price
