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.

Early editions of The Hobbit are rare as hen's teeth. davem keeps looking for them but they're very expensive. I think our earliest ones are 70s ones! By the way, try Southport for 2nd hand bookshops and charity shops, there are loads of them.
I hope you kept the Barrywhite in....
