Is there any reason at all why this would hold any especial value beyond a typical random conference proceedings (i.e. worth next to nothing)?

It appears to be a rare book, but I can't see any value in it.

The price appears to come from 'rare' and mentions 'Tolkien'.

If someone wants to read it then it is readily available from libraries, https://www.worldcat.org/title/scholar ... rku-finland/oclc/34633224

So same as my limited edition of 12 copies Songs of the Philologists? Will happily accept £5,000 for my copy. :)

Im sticking with my 61 copy

The same '54 copy of The Hobbit a couple of weeks apart. Sold for £387 at open auction, dealer now listing for £950 (with a lot less description).

Other than the nice jacket, it is a somewhat nasty copy, and the new listing doesn't show the back of the boards, unlike the fully open and honest original one (so I've included the original picture for posterity).

I thought that book looked familiar. I only glanced at the original listing once so I couldn't place this new one.

Obviously this is way over priced. This seller is clearly trying to pull one over.

And regarding the US copy that's been for sale for a while, I finally got an answer regarding the missing section on the front of the dustjacket...

Let's just say I am skeptical about the response...

"There is a lot of chipping to the DJ. But it is still all of one piece. I had a photo of the complete DJ. But I took it down to accommodate other requests. Thank you for your interest."

Right in line with what Stu was saying. Here is another example of price gouging just after the same lot sold.

They have had a go at repairing the dust-jackets, but not convinced that a very good job has been done

More re the US Hobbit. Funnily enough the seller has not actually re-posted this image that shows that the jacket is magically complete, despite his own pictures showing this not to be the case. Also worth saying, I saw this when it was first posted, and I never saw such an image (the one he states he removed).

I find this one really bizarre, to be honest. I don't get how sellers have decent feedback ratings and then do weirdly clueless stuff like this.
