Are you kidding? I would sell it for a million.

I'll take $850,000USD for mine.

Heck, at this point, I'd let it go for a month's rent and a car insurance payment!

Rent, car insurance-what about the important stuff-like beer!

Radagast The Brown · 10-27-2002, 05:05 PM

For my Sil - 50 dollars would be enough.

Cirdan · 10-27-2002, 06:22 PM

So this is why they only draw a few bucks on line.

Green cloth and the mark is gold?

Falagar · 11-03-2002, 08:39 AM

Black hardcover, The Silm. written in big, red letters, and a round flower(s) in the middle.
On the bottomm it's written Tolkien in white letters...
The flower(s) is white, green, blue and gold, and apparently Luthiens mark/sign.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 11-03-2002, 10:55 AM

Hmmm. Yours sounds nicer then mine. Mine is green cloth with a gold symbol. The only writing is on the side of the book. It did have a paper cover on it when I bought it, but that is long gone. Can't even remember what it looked like. Who is yours published by? Mine is Houghton Mifflin.

I never really thought about the age of my copy of Sil (I bought it from a car-boot fair/flea market for 30p!) until I read this thread. It was published 1983!, nearly 20yrs old!.........amazing considering the fact that when I bought it the spine wasn't even cracked!

............it is now tho

Lanelf · 11-05-2002, 12:45 AM

I'd love to get hold of my own copy of the Sil. I first read a copy from the library, it was hardback with about five of those emblems on it. I want to get hold of a nice copy but the only ones at the book shops are little black paperback ones.

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."
