My favorite author since I was little. I also have the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in Dutch but they're in behind these because I prefer reading the original language

Been slowly building my Tolkien collection over the years. A good number of these have been thrift store finds, which makes collecting even more enjoyable!

Vol. 4 – The Shaping of Middle-earth (1986): American edition, third printing.

Still looking to complete The History of Middle-earth. Always keeping an eye out for older Tolkien editions!
