I have the actual really old Lord Of The Rings book

[Cybertails1998]

brag brag brag

yes, very old book that's older than me. Leather cover and ink text, actually good Russian translation, a map of the whole thing at the end of the 3rd age, and even a coprehensive guide to about everything not explained in the actual book, like runes, where orcs came from, all the kings of Rohan etc

I would post pictures but they will take a short while because probably uncharged camera

in 1991, when it popped up it was 35 russian roubles, basically a small fortune

now RUR isn't as expensive as it was

[fawkes..]

Wow, i would pay to read this book :C

35 russian roubles,

I know nothing about foreign currency so out of curiosity I translated it for my location:

35.00 RUB = 1.17351 USD

Dayummm.

It's not older than me.

"The Fire was dead, so we threw a few friends on the fire"
"The black men are looking for Baggins"

I've been reading through the book and felt like bringing those two quotes up.

"...and then Pippin saw the spider on his shoulder and let out a yell just as the ring wraith was about to happen upon the hiding spot of the said hobbits witch scared the wraith so badly he lit off in a hurry and neither he nor any of his companions where ever seen in that region again..."

Not 100% maybe, but they do say friend and black man/men/rider alot in the first half of Fellowship of the Ring.
