Wow, and I thought my copy was old, (sometime in the 70's).
It'd be great to be able to say you own something like that, especially if you're a big fan of Tolkien, (who isn't?!) but I can think of a great many things I'd more readily drop a spare £60,000 on than a book I'd never dare to open for fear of it falling apart!

1937? Wow, I didn't realize it was that old. I thought he published his books much later than that. I think my copy is also from the 70's, but I thought he first published sometime in the 50's.
I guess this would be the ultimate collection piece for a big Tolkien fan. I do like the man's work, but like Reno said, there are other things I'd rather spend that amount of money on.
I wish I knew where my book was...I wonder how old it is...XD It looks like it could be from the 30's XDDDDD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
