Hello all, I’m selling some of my collection to make room for new books. Send me a PM if you are interested in buying or would like more pics/details. I’ve tried to price these pretty reasonably given the market, but I am open to hearing offers as well. The listed price does not include shipping, which will vary depending on where you live. (I am located in the U.S.) More books might be added at a later time. Thanks for looking!
The Return of the King 1st/4th (HMCO) *facsimile jacket - $300
The boards are a bit dirty, and there are some light smudges on the first few pages. Otherwise in very nice shape.
The Lord of the Rings 2024 Deluxe Illustrated by Alan Lee (HC) - SOLD $200
Brand new with no defects that I could see. I personally didn’t like the set as much as I thought I would so adding it to the list.
The Hobbit 50th Anniversary Edition 1st/1st (2nd state) (HMCO) - SOLD $60$75
In near mint condition, the slipcase has a couple slight marks.
The Tolkien Treasury (HC) - $35
As new, never read.
The Lord of the Rings 2nd/8th (GA&U) - $150
1974 set. Very nice shape. Minor wear to the boards (worst on TT). All three have the previous owner’s name on FFEP, and all have a small tear where the map connects to the page.
Unfinished Tales 1st/3rd (GA&U) - SOLD $50$75
Aside from the slight fading on the spine, I’d say this book is in near mint condition. The boards look immaculate and the inside is pristine. There is a price sticker on the back of the jacket.
