Sure thing, here's the copyright page:

A few more miscellaneous items, selling just on here initially - all priced at $25, apart from Mythlore #9 which is $15 as it has a bit of staining on the front and is partly unstapled (though pages otherwise in a quite good state):

Essays in Criticism, vol. VI, nr. 4 (1956) contains the essay "Adventure in English" by Mark Roberts which is an early piece on LOTR - not entirely complimentary, I might add!

The Sewanee Review, vol. LXIX, nr. 4 (1961), contains the essay “There and Back Again: The Romances of Williams, Lewis, and Tolkien" by W. R. Irwin (note that the cover is frayed at the edges - though perhaps it wasn't cut properly, as it is slightly wider than the text block)

Tolkien Journal #10 (from 1969)

Tolkien Journal #11 (from 1969)

Tolkien Journal #15 (from 1972) - special issue in honour of Tolkien’s 80th birthday

Mythlore #9 (from 1973)

Plus shipping at cost (from Sweden) - any questions, or if you'd like more pictures, just send me a message.

Update on this - I've put these on Tradera as job lots - one for the Tolkien Journals + Mythlore:

And one for the academic journals (plus a couple of other items with early essays):

Starting at the equivalent of $1, figured it's time for the market to see what they're worth!

Putting these up for sale on here as well as on the FB group:

History of Middle-earth "black" paperbacks with John Howe covers.

Volumes: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

As you can see if you zoom in on the spines, these have been read. If you need any more photos, just ask.

Asking SEK 200 (that's about $20) for each, plus shipping at cost from Sweden. I'm probably going to replace these with the new-style covers, which will cost me $15 each.

I do also have volume 3, but it's COVERED in pencilled notes on the Lay of the Children of Húrin, which only increases the value 😉
