Everyone has made me want to go shopping!!! Where did you get a diary from???? And I want the calendar!!! I can tell that I am going to be broke tomorrow!!

I own the books and I kept the tickets when I went to see it!!! They are going in a frame!! I like some of the pictures that I drew of Gandalf and Gimli...but I would feel too concieted if I framed them!!!

Oooh the calendar! I wanted the calendar too! Every year since 1997 I always had a Tolkien calendar, when I went to buy one for this year it was sold out. I made quite a quest of my own for it. Result: one entire day one the road, very weary feet and nooooo calendar. definately a drawback from the movie...no one was hardly ever interested in those things. Next year I'll buy him in September come hell or high water!

I did in manila eowyn144. It was so quiet, everyone in the theatre was hanging on to every line. And most people, me included, almost levitated to the next row when Bilbo went bug-eyed.

I have a 50th anniversary editon box set of all of the books including the hobbit. Its quite worn out though from all my families reading over the years

Glorious Glorfindel · 02-27-2002, 04:28 PM

i have the books 2!!!
they are also creased and worn, and i have ordered a calender off the web, well 2 in actual fact!!
they have sum REALLY cool pics in, u can also get sumthin like a student planner or sumthin, but it looks really good also
my other prized posesion is mycopy of silmarillion, which i STILL havn't read, and my Grandads copy of The Hobbit, which is currently lost sumwhere, in the depths of my room

I just got the CD set of the BBC LotR radio production. This is way too cool!! I've already listened to the first 3 CDs. At the moment this is my favourite Tolkien thing....

Glorious Glorfindel · 03-02-2002, 07:16 AM

cool!
i wanted 2 get the CD's, but i really can't afford it right now!
i've spent so much money on other LotR things like books, calenders, posters and going 2 c the film 4 times doesn't really help my cash flow situation!

Pailan · 03-02-2002, 01:15 PM

My favourite Tolkien stuff, well... that's hard to say.

Number one has to be my 1972, paperbacks of LotR with Tolkien's art on the front and his picture w/ pipe on the back.

Second is the calander from 1975, featuring the art work of Tim Kirk. January has THE BEST rendering of Smaug I have ever seen. And between June and July is a center fold of Bilbo meeting Gandalf and his door. (Nicely done pipes!) Tim Kirk's art remains among my favourites.

And number three is my First edition/first printing, hardcover of the Silmarillion.

And fast rising in my collection are the four Buger King lighted goblets. Lousy ad, great product.

Khadrane · 03-03-2002, 07:10 PM

I like my new edition one volumed version of LOTR (the one with with a Nazgul on the front) It's the only thing I ever won. Besides my poster of Frodo I won in the same contest.

Earenya · 03-04-2002, 02:20 PM

I have been looking for the old '73/ '65 paperback editions. Any suggestions? The old bookstores here have been cleaned out.

Pailan · 03-05-2002, 11:00 AM

You can snag those items on an auction site like eBay or Amazon.com auctions. Sometimes they are available for a good price too. Good luck.

eowyn144 · 03-05-2002, 03:04 PM

ooooooo!i just found out that my dad has a really old 1971 edition of lotr!its a plain brown hardback book and its now my favourite (and oldest) lotr thing

***Earniel*** · 03-05-2002, 04:43 PM

Does any one else has the Tolkien Bestiairy of David Day? It was the very first Tolkien-thing I came in contact with. I even remember the first time I read it (about 9 years ago, that's LONG in my book) Technically it's still my dad's but it has been residing in my room for say... 5 years ever since I read the Lord of the Rings.
