I've added several books, some new, some old, to my collection. I bought The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy, which promises to be a fascinating read, and The Hobbit graphic novel, which has nice drawings and keeps much of the original dialogues. I "inherited" a Tolkien biography, J.R.R.Tolkien, Architect of Middle-Earth from one brother and Bored of the Rings from the other. The latter seems to be a first printing of the paperback, 1969, with some rather strange artwork on the cover.

I also bought a "One Ring" bookmark just because it looks cool...

Oh, and I've finally found some good pictures of the figurines that come with the children's chocolate eggs in Germany - here they are:

RotK (coming in November)

I have the first two series and am looking forward to collecting the third!

PS - Oh, I almost forgot the biggest purchase - I finally splurged on J.R.R.Tolkien, Artist and Illustrator - lovely pictures by the man himself!
