On the topic of Tolkien, this morning I was going through some old books that were still in boxes from moving house last year. Found a copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadill which I’ve had for decades, I remember my grandmother used to read it to me when I was a kid in the 70’s. Well, it turns out that this little hardback is a first edition print from 1962 (UK release) and some are selling online for $700+, one seller had a copy up for $1100!

No plans to sell it, but I should probably take a bit more care with it :)
