Never seen such a high priced book on Ebay. $75,000 buy it now for a 1/1 Hobbit. Bidding starts at $50,000. Maybe this belongs in the other thread.
Anyone who pays this kind of money for a book without having an even-bigger-mug (TM) to shift it onto is an idiot.
At this level, I think buyers are primarily speculators.
Seller says will only post to the UK.

Don't see this one show up often any more (and don't think the TS has had it available for a while now).

Here's an odd bit of spiel -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/J-R-R-TOLKIEN ... tible&hash=item2ebde97fe2
Under the heading 'Origin' the vendor has written 'India' - giving the impression that this edition comes from the sub-continent.
And, in the main body of the text we get this -
"IN THE FINISH OTHER MAP"
- whatever that means.
