I live in Canada and I'm looking for the History of Middle Earth books.(all 12) but i don't know where to look. i'll have to order it from somewhere, but i don't know where from or how much. any advice anyone?

TolkienGurl · 10-29-2002, 07:42 PM

www.amazon.com I guess. The hard cover versions would be pretty expensive, seeing as you're from Canada, eh? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amazon or Amazon.uk are good bets. Is the US, the first 5 volumes are available in paperback. All are in paperback in the UK, but are rather pricey.

The hardbound volumes run at about $22USD and up. You can haunt eBay and get them for a bit less if you are patient. Some of the hardcovers were out of print in the US but this may have changed since the movie. Good luck.

I'd try a Canadian website, like chapters.ca. It would be easier because the costs are in Canadian dollars.

Do you have Barnes and Noble up there? I saw the paperbacks in there.

Don't forget the Amazon.com also offers used editions of books through second-party sellers, either book dealers or individuals. So you wouldn't have to pay full price. There are probably plenty of used copies of the books out there for sale.

Juets go to !ndigo. Thats where I got mine. They don't usually ahve all 12 at the same time, but check back every wek or so and you're all set.

(PS: check out the Canadian Barrowdowners thread.)

Raefindel · 10-31-2002, 12:02 PM

Don't forget Half.com.

Luinsewiel · 11-04-2002, 06:55 PM

If your just looking to read them and don't neccisarily need to own them try the library, that's what i'm doing. If they have them in PEI they'll have them ANYWHERE.
