While She Knits -- Holiday Gift Version

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

My holiday gift list is done!  Here is what I'm asking Santa for:



Just a few books!  Or a few hundred.

What books are you hoping to find in your stocking this year?  What new books are you most hoping to read next year?  (Well, other than Highly Anticipated Unamed Book 5 With No Actual Publication Date As Yet.)

C'mon.  Have a seat on Santa's lap and whisper in his ear.  If Santa has a forked red beard, beware.

This is a long shot, but if anyone here at Sounis knows of or ever comes across a place where I can obtain these editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'd be most grateful for the info! :)

They are the 2001 paperback editions, published by Houghton Mifflin for the Quality Paperback Book Club, featuring cover design by Grey Thornberry and original cover illustrations by Tolkien, as seen here (sans spaces): http://w ww.openculture.com/2013/02/discover_jrr_tolkiens_per sonal_book_cover_designs_for_ithe_lord_of_the_ringsi_tril ogy.ht ml

I came by the green Two Towers one secondhand, and would LOVE to complete the set.

The number for book 1 is 9780965307758 ; the number for book 3 is 9780965307796.

If you input either number at bookfinder dot com, you get copies starting at 3.00-3.50, including shipping. The site clearly shows the pictures in question.

Hth.

Happy New Year!

You are my hero.

You're all kinds of welcome. bookfinder dot com and abebooks dot com are useful resources to know about [aside from me, of course ;)]. If you're in the US, paperbackswap dot com [& sister sites swapacd and swapadvd] are also quite useful, especially if you're looking to get rid of stuff.

Done! Ordered! In transit! Goodness, let 2015 be the year that bookfinder waltzed into my life and romanced me. :)

I was aware of other online sources but had trouble tracking down specific editions. This is definitely a new resource for me. Thanks again!!

That's how we roll over in Sounis; we get up to all kinds of facilita-trix for each other.
