The most memorable place I have held a most memorable copy of LotR in my hands: Last summer, several Downs members met in Oxford to go to Tolkien's grave and see the sights. We stopped at the 'Eagle and Child', the pub where JRRT, C. S. Lewis and others met regularly, and there Squatter showed us (and let us page through) his first edition copy of LotR.
