edit: oh, and Tales from the Perilous Realm
Wow, you sure are young to be reading such complex books as these. I've never heard of the last one, I'll have to look that one up!

Perilous Realm is a great book, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil contains some of my favourite Tolkien poems.

Hard Cover ROTK with Illustrations by Allan Lee $7.98

I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and checking out the clearance/discount books at the front of the store and found 10 copies of ROTK hardcover with Illustrations by Allan Lee for only $7.98. Well, I've always wanted this and so I picked it up. Anyway, just wanted to share this find incase someone is in a Barnes and Noble and they want to look and see if they find this. I would assume they would since the stores seem to get the same duplicate volumes in for overstock, clearance/discount.
