Another Christopher Tolkien Signed UK Silmarillion

That price isn't so interesting.

It’s also difficult to say the signature is actually in the book with the pictures they’ve put up! It would’ve been nice to have a pulled out photo of the signature on the page, don’t you think.

I'm sure the signature is on the f.f.e.p.

Tbh, sitting with two of these already, the idea that I have £2K+ worth of books is basically nonsense. I don't believe a book like this should be anywhere near this price.

I'd agree. I think asking prices will settle back. The idea that a CT sig is worth a £1000 (given the book is worth nothing) is a bit daft.

I bought a signed Monsters and the Critics about ten years ago for under $100 USD. I'd say in today's market, a valid signed Christopher Tolkien "standard" book (meaning, not one of the deluxe/super-deluxe limited editions) would be quickly snapped up at that price, likely sell quickly at £300 or so, and won't sell when priced near or above £1000. Just my gut feel on what's moving on the market nowadays.
