I'm on a v long waiting list for cardiac surgery and I feel terrible. To fund private surgery, I'm selling this signed 1st ed set of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in fine binding.
If you're looking for a lovely book AND want to help a fellow to live, how about this?

This is where a further Tolkien connection can be found. The letter is in Elvish – specifically Fëanorian. (A translation has been provided by the Tolkien Society). Conjecture aside, the letter is a fascinating example of how Tolkien’s work lives in the minds of people far beyond other books.
