No matter how battered they get, don't ever throw them away, as you may regret it one day! I daren't hazard a guess as to how many copies of each of the books there are in the house now, but each has its own non-monetary value. I obtained a nice box set of 1970's editions for davem recently, and though neither rare nor perfect, they were what he wanted and as such, valuable in their own right.
But for cheap editions, e-bay is your place to go. Or obscure book fairs, where a first edition of The Sil was snapped up for just £2.50 the other day.

Between the two of us, my brother and I have 4 copies of LotR, 2 of the Hobbit, and 2 of Silm. Everything else we only have one of, or just don't own.

This IS a bit steep....
since the book was merely owned by him ....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW and I don't have Tolkien's interest in Gothic....
