1st, 1st American Tom Bombadil $15

Did anyone here buy it?

There is also a UK version of this book for sale here: http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auc ... e-id-2854836/lot-13537971

Says it is signed, but info is minimal.

Nae luck Beren! Now, let's not all start bidding against each other on this one...

Oh well, then; I s'pose I'd better not mention the previous lot in that auction - a signed FGH, published by Unwin Brothers, 1949.

No, you better not mention it!

Completely "forgot" to mention that.

I asked for additonal info and got the following from Mark Jones, General Cataloger & Valuer @ Rosebery's

Lot 1011 (Farmer Giles of Ham) - Dust jacket slightly frayed, slight discolouration, overall typical wear. With photographs stuck in, some pages and photographs slightly damaged. Signed but provenance unavailable.

Lot 1012 (Tom Bombadil) - Dust jacket slightly frayed, slight discolouration, overall typical wear. Signed but provenance unavailable.

So do you think the signatures are original? I haven't got a clue.
