Me too... my edition is slightly yellow and has only half of the cover and first page intact. Same with the back... everything is bent.
How did he get it, BTW?

Wow..... you guys are so cool! At least you have the first edition Elemmire. My copy of the Sil is the newest one that *cough* came out after the movie. But it's pretty, and in good condition, and best of all... it's the Sil! ![]()

Oh, I have a first edition of the Sil, I thought you meant the LotR. Now that's pricey.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wish it were the minted edition... Even my bird won't chew on this thing... and trust me, she eats everything. My LotR's "newest one that *cough* came out after the movie" has bite marks all over it... ![]() ![]()

You can get mint first editions off ebay. Before all the LOTR hype really picked up, I bought mine for relatively cheap - $5, I think.
