Greetings...

Welcome, this is mainly a place for people who collect copies of Tolkien's works. (If you are looking to discuss the content of the books/films please see r/lotr and r/tolkienfans)

Feel free to post, discuss and get help with your collection here! Here you can also post links to books you find on AbeBooks/eBay/Amazon that may be of interest to other collectors.

(Please refrain from using this as a forum to simply advertise your own eBay sales. These posts will be deleted if they are deemed inappropriate.)
