I only have a big hardcover copy, i used to have paperbacks but they got lost. The hardcover i have is the one illustrated by Alan Lee and it's beautiful but i always feel the need to be extra careful with it. As careful as i am with it there are rips and tears and coffee stains and cigarette burns and i feel very guilty about it. I like a nice paperback i can throw around.

In reguards to being a girl carrying around Tolkien books--when i would read them at school sometimes i would usually have some guy come up to me and say something in elvish or reciting some quote from the book. I'm not the flirty type but i ended up making a lot of Tolkien friends that way. Don't know any female fans though [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] i have to look on the internet for them.
