So what is your full list of Tolkien/ME items then?

I have LotR and TH (obviously), CoH, The Sil, The Tolkien Reader (I have two copies, one was printed in 1973, before Tolkien died), The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, the first five books of HoME (Two of the First Book of Lost Tales), Maps of Tolkien's Middle-Earth (the one of ME is hanging framed on my wall), the BBC Radio Four Audio Adaptations, um... and I have all three extended edition films. That's it, which seems pretty small compared to what other Downers profess to have. It takes up only one of my book cases (I only have three).

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?

I certainly hope not, if there is, then there is no good left in this world!

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.
