Well, I was saving for a trip to England, but this might be a better cause...

a bit of a cop out that the books are only signed by the RECIPIENT of the letters.

I wouldn't mind an original LETTER from tolkien though, I suppose.

Even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't get it. I mean it would be neat to have such a thing, but there are many instances where the stuff you buy off the internet isn't really what you paid for. A lot of the times it's just imitations. It would be neat to get my hands on it (if it was what it says it is).

Bah I say. What's all this hoarding of relics?

Next someone will be auctioning off the cutlery from the Tolkien family table, or perhaps the letter-opening knife which Tolkien used and calling it a relic from some barrow. Or mayhap a brooch of Edith's. Me? I 'm holding out for a bottle of the last waters that flooded over Meneltarma.
