It's nice to know I'm not the only one who hoa...collects different covers of Tolkien's works. I have several of the supercopy editions (all three books in one) which are very lovely both in paperback and hardback. I have some a bit older in nice condition from the UK, just a few scuffs and tears, nothing falling out (yet). I have several boxsets, several different versions of the Silmarillion and two versions of the Lost Tales part 1. I also have lovely books like Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and the Father Christmas Letters which is adorable. I have a postcard book too which features all the artists who illustrated Middle-earth. I have encyclopedias on Middle-earth, books on the movies, books on the artwork and a couple which are really different. It's like they're blank journals, it says a Hobbit's Travel on them and has wonderful illustrations inside. I have a foreign copy of The Two Towers and The Hobbit, and a graphic novel version of the Hobbit and I also collect the audio book versions, nevermind that they're on cassette.

It's nice to know other people have collections, although I don't have anything really special like a first edition.
