There are possibly hundreds or maybe even thousands of variations of Tolkien's books. What do yours look like?
My poor sad Fellowship of the Ring copy I got for Christmas when I was eight or nine (I do not remember which exactly) from my grandmother. It has been through many moves, has been bent in a thousand ways and suffers from water damage, but I can't bear to part with it.

This is a 50th anniversary edition of The Hobbit I found at a thrift store. The outside cover is a bit beat up, but other than that, it's perfect. The book itself is a shiny, beautiful hardcover, and was illustrated by the author. I have no guess as to why anyone would ever discard such a thing.

Once upon a time I had a a couple of matching sets of Lord of the Rings, but they have been long lost or given away. I've been eyeballing this set specifically (http://www.ebay.com/itm/EASTON-PRESS-J-R-R-Tolkien-LORD-OF-THE-RINGS-3-Volumes-GENUINE-LEATHER-MINT/191454822219?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D0cc69d824ecf45b19fb 36ce08c0d2926%26pid%3D100204%26prg%3D20140407115239%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D201231249718) because oh my god ;-;
Show me what your books look like!
