I am not really one of those people who would like a first edition copy. I really would just enjoy a very nice copy (that is maybe kind of old), of LOTR. Right now I finally have a hardback set, after having just had a paperback movie cover one for the longest time. The ones that really interest me though are the paperbacks, they have some of the most interesting cover artwork. There is actually this one that is at my library at school, it is a 1970's something copy of ROTR, which has the most interesting interpritation of Aragorn that I have ever seen. I actually feel a greater fondness towards the paperbacks because they are the ones that I first came in contact with (1960's something paperback of FOTR at Middle School, not in the 60's though because I am only 18), but I have not yet actually gone out there and bought any.
I have heard that you can find them, but at this time they can sometimes be hard to find because of the recent popularity. But I would love to find a nice copy of the Sil though (all I have is a recent mass-market paperback).
