npub1luxymdfpqtwl06xmrm78ls8ejt2rqe9xay5a8zkk5ucfnvwvpz5q2qtdu5 (npub1lux…tdu5) First editions of the LotR are a bit too expensive, though I haven’t looked at valuations in a while. When I first started looking around on eBay, back in 2000, they were going for about $4,000 for each volume, but that was when the movies were being developed and promoted. I really wish I had looked before the movies had been announced.

A few years ago, I found a copy in a rare books store, and they took it out and let me unfold the maps. That was amazing!
