I agree, seems overpriced to me as well, but I don't often see copies come up for sale either to compare against. Glad I got mine back in 2010 (I just looked it up again)!

And I see someone has already bought it. Carpe libellum! I guess! (Possibly someone here?) So not in fact overpriced after all. Congrats to all concerned.
Skimming the Tolkien Visual Collecting Guide, this item is one of the earliest Tolkien related coloring books. It was developed by Charlie and Marsha Brown, published in 1969, and it showcases a number of artists including Tim Kirk.

I did buy it even though I don’t really collect coloring books…too unique to pass up.
The auction isn't of course finished yet (though only 3 1/2 hours left), but I wonder if the price has remained relatively modest as it references "Tolkein" - or could be because of the condition.

I suspect so. I had a friend who scoured internet auctions for mistyped names and bought things really cheaply, and then sold them on for healthy profits.
And here's an interesting one in light of LanceFormation's recent post about the T-K Graphics Fanzines (https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/n ... _id=53310#forumpost53310)
