Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.

Child of the 7th Age - I do not live anywhere near New York. On the day they announced the sale of the signed books I simply made a post on a site where Tolkien collectors gather offering to pay for someone elses book if they would be good enough to buy one for me. Two people responded. I made a deal with one. And that is how I obtained my signed COH.
Sauron--

Then I applaud your foresight and resourcefulness! I did contact a UK bookstore and ordered an edition signed by Lee for a very reasonable price.

Davem --

Yes, it would be possible to find a friend overseas and use that address if someone wanted a book. My concern wasn't so much that the purchase of the books was restricted by geography. The problem was communication. Everyone who signed up on the site received emails relating to the purchase of the book without any mention of geographical restrictions. On a personal level, the question is academic since 350 pounds is way above my budget!
