Your Tolkien Spoils
I've been collecting books by and about Tolkien for many years now; there isn't much I don't have! And lots of variants of the standards; TH; LotR etc.
Even my collection of Silmarillions goes into double figures... I wonder if there's a cure?

My latest acquisitions to add to my Tolkien Spoils collection (which alas, is pitifully small) are my One Ring, which TheGreatElvenWarrior gave to me as a birthday present (really! She did, I swears it!) and which I now wear almost everyday, and my vintage edition of The Hobbit, which I got from my English teacher in exchange for another, less-good book. The reason I wanted that particular copy of The Hobbit so much is because of its cover art--my mother had a poster of that drawing back in the '60s when she was a dirt-poor hippie living in a one-room cabin without running water. Life was made bearable by the presence of this great work of art!
Here is my prize possession: |

I'm glad she gave that to you. I would covet it too. Although I've got a Tolkien Reader that's from the same year I think.

I am now the proud owner of a first US edition of The Silmarillion, thanks to my aunt and uncle.
