How about with the price!

That's just the start

It is quite a nice little table, though!

I remember about seven or eight years ago, whenever there was an auction for a HoME volume, raidersafc would buy it up. I'm guessing these are all the rough copies he got as part of sets. That has to be the worst spine fading I have ever seen on a 'Sauron Defeated'.

Interesting...

You bought a signed Silmarillion for £5? Nice find!

Yeh, I mentioned it before:

Lucky Finds (Post #10)

Still, if you rule out the luck of this find, I also won an auction on eBay for a better copy (with employee note) for £92 a few years back. So, I think $425/£275 is a little high.

Nice! I'm jealous. :)

Agree Khamul but a nice book to have in collection. It wasnt on for long at all so appears demand strong. Think this is the highest i have seen paid for such a copy?

Looks like Mark Faith of Festival Art and Books bought it, as it has just popped up on Abebooks for £695 --so, again, not bought by a collector.
