Hi Lal, I have rescued quite a few from second-hand/charity shops. The last copy I bought was a paperback special limited edition for The Cannes Film Festival 2001, I got that from Barnado's for £2. My earliest editions are Second/Fourth Impression 1969, however I have the 1968 (First time in one volume) Hardback and Paperback. My earliest Hobbit is 1959. If I see any Tolkien book in a Charity shop, I rescue it. If I already have it then I give it away to friend.

P.S The Lord of the Grins is finished.
