You mean like eBay itself?

In the words of Francis Urquhart, "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment."

Quite an offer eh?

The image looks somewhat familiar

There are some Tolkien classic's in there, including the "The Letters of Middle-Earth", where Tolkien describes the inner workings of the Shire Post Office, including such relevations as do they use wheelbarrows to deliver the letters, gripping stuff.

I'm glad they didn't forget his most famous work 'Dynasty Of Man'! A must-read!

Liar!

hear hear... they got him!! http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/02 ... aud-idINTRE7126QN20110203 yes what a fine day for all Tolkien collectors! Justice at last... even while a lot of dammage was done, I believe it is finally over!

Is this really one of our friends with a big loft and lots of lucky finds?

I think it might be - he's on the South coast, and he alledgedly has items supposed to have been signed by other authors. I recall one of the selling points of our friend in the South was that he boasted he had signed items by Aldous Huxley, for example. Here's hoping for the right outcome in this case..

Meanwhile, I think our friend in the North (Canada, that is) ought to start feeling nervous!

o well Canada... I know ebay sellers located in India who happily live in the UK! Still I'm happy that one seller of fake items has been stopped!
