I'd like to think that The Professor's books are in there somewhere.

I saw these and had to go digging.

He has one of the most worn and well-read copies of LOTR that I have seen in a long while, as well as a smattering of other titles (I cannot figure out what one of the books are). I also saw some Tolkien in his paperback section - Silmarillion, Sir Gawain, Tolkien Reader, etc. but didn't pull out an enlargement of those for here - that is left as an exercise for the fan as obsessed as I.

Enjoy this fuzzy treasure, though.

Thanks for sharing that with us Trotter!

Wow! -those shelves, roof to floor, are something else. Although, Wayne & Christina's collection may (just) give Gaiman a run for his money!

(Rowns) If we're talking about the yellow spined LotRs in the picture; I don't know, a lot of the big one volume paperbacks get pretty close to that condition. My 90's Howe/Gandalf one volume is pretty bad (& I haven't read it that much). That orange spine two to the right of it though! -what the hell is that?...
