I've just gone through paperback set after paperback set...I think I'm up to three sets or so at this point. Of course, I had to share those with lots o' other siblings, so it's no wonder they didn't survive long! My current set is also out on loan in three different locations, and it's only the cheapie movie version so I don't have a lot of faith in its longevity.

I do however have a beautiful version of The Hobbit. My brother (jrherreid) gave it to me for Christmas. It's a special edition (hard-cover, gold colored) from a few years ago, really well made and with a lot of Tolkien's own sketches and notes mixed in, plus a big fold-out map, if I remember right.

That's another poster I need - a nice big map of Middle Earth! I did go out and buy the atlas of Middle Earth that someone put together. It's a really interesting book - they tell times and distances for all the traveling in the books, plus have maps of everything from Middle Earth in its entirety to Bag End to Moria, etc.

All right, break it up. Time to go back to work--stop drooling over Aragorn and company or I'll make the guys come back in and start a conversation about Elven babes.

I've been sending those new LOTR books, the ones with the movie pictures on the cover, to the troops in Kosovo.

I have got to get me one of those! Do you have an ISBN number on it anywhere?
