Just a PSA reminder that anyone looking for a copy of this (Priscilla's recent death may have brought it to mind for a few people), should not be paying eBay elevated prices (there are many copies at £500 - £1500 on eBay just at the moment).

It is still available from the publisher for £295, so don't get scalped!

Have to agree with this, they could come down in price to sell the remaining copies.

I'd be willing to bet there are not so many left at this point.

Agreed. I suspect that they would be coming towards the end now. I tend to think the price looks less inflated now in the context of the current Tolkien marketplace than when it came out (I didn't buy as I felt it was much too expensive).

Just to duplicate over from the recent acquisitions thread, I finally decided to order a copy a couple of weeks ago and it ended up being #216. Annunfalma ordered a copy at broadly the same time and got #573, so we can't read anything much from the copy numbers as to how well (or not well) these have sold, I don't think.

At the shop in 2018, a clerk stated the boxes were not in numerical order and the next box to hand was the next sold. They would not search for specific #s. Oh, to be clear, they politely declined my request.
