Those disappearing Lords of the Ringses...

Um... *looks sheepish* I found my hardback LotR. It was... er... next to my computer, where I now remember taking it a few weeks ago for reference while writing something. Pellinor has admitted that perhaps his old single volume copy never made it out of his parents' house. So it seems as if we're just a two Lord of the Rings household, after all, and that both copies are accounted for. Either that, or the person who stole our other copies has given us false memories to cover his tracks.

It occurs to me that most normal people would probably think that having two copies of The Lord of the Rings is a bit excessive. However, I am confident that, compared with many people reading this, we class as total lightweights.



(Interpret "own" in a way that works for you - e.g. whether you want to count copies in your house that are technically owned by someone else but are now shared, or if you want to count copies that you would claim as your own, but aren't currently living with you.)

I have the Alun Lee hardcover set, an Unwin paperback 3 vol "reading copy," and the 1970's boxed india paper one volume, black, with the colored insignia on the front. I once owned the yellow one volume pb, the one with the Pauline Baynes cover, and lent it to someone who never returned it - may she burn in hell. And I had a boxed pb Canadian edition that fell to pieces.
