Best editions of LOTR books?

ringbearer · 08-13-2001, 09:18 PM

I own these copies;
Hardbound Hobbit (green w\green case-illustrated).
Hardbound Lotr (red w\red case-had to have this one when it first came out because it reminded me of "The Red Book of Westmarch").
1st Edition of The Silmarillion (missing dust jacket)
1st edition of Unfinished Tales (with slightley damaged dust jacket).

I have heard there are some leather bound versions of LOTR...are these still available?
Also want to get the new boxed set!!!

Are there any scanned pictures of what the original hardbound 1st editions of LOTR look like, somewhere on the net...how much are they worth, ETC?
