The Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkien
Look at thisss, hobbitses! Not bought at flea market for ten francses. Catalogue says worth seven hundred dollarses. Oh yes, Not knows about bookses, gollum. But can't touch, can't read, she says too valuable. Going to eat fish instead, but nice birthday present, oh yes precious.

In fact it was a few days ago... this was a late present, but all the better for it :)
Wow. I can't imagine the corollary expenses of purchasing a containment unit and keeping it pumped full of inert gases. I imagine this is a view from one of the security cameras, but you've cropped out the screen number.
You've got to remember that we live in Geneva. Not went to a CERN garage sale and picked up the containment unit, complete with remote control manipulators and a year's supply of nitrogen, for another 15 francs.
You're so lucky! The only thing better than collecting books is collecting valuable books ;) Love LOTR, by the way.

I somehow guessed that from your name :) I am also a huge fan...
What a precious present.Happy birthday (again, I think).
It may be the most valuable birthday present I've ever received! Now if only I were actually allowed to touch it...
Wow. That is the dictionary definition of jealous.
If it's any comfort, I still haven't dared open them.
Manny wrote: "If it's any comfort, I still haven't dared open them."That's a tricky one: as books, they should be loved, which ought to include reading them, albeit carefully. Yet I fully understand why you're reluctant to do it.
Wait.. is that the first edition?

We wants it! We needs it!
Nice Mandy, but we can't let her have it, can we preciousss?
Wow! ..and here I was wishing for my early 70s paperbacks with the psychedelic covers.
It's mine! My own!
Very sstrange, hobbitses, we seems to have found us another Sméagol. Is it our reflection, precious? Or some kind of nassty elf-magic?
It knows, precious! It knoooooows!!!
Wonderful Manny! So what date is your birthday? 16 June?
Actually it's tomorrow!
There are birthday celebrations all over England tomorrow, if you want to pop back.
Aw, thank you Cecily! I will consider that!
There's even a street party in my street - but we'll miss it!
