No of course not ..so I have 3 lots of delivery charges.....

The '20th Anniversary edition' is very nice - good quality & matching the recent LotR 50th & Sil hardbacks (as well as the new 70th anniversary Hobbit with fold out maps & such. Only irritating thing is that they insist on calling it the 20th anniversary edition when its actually the 26th anniversary. (I bought UT on the day it was published in 1980 & this one came out last year).

Well I am my second pb edition so I can justify a hardback at £12..... Ideally I woul dlove everything in HB but..... Home it seems would be about £400 I think
