Just reading a report from The Register where a first edition copy of The Hobbit has sold at auction for £60,000. Yes kiddies, POUNDS!
I remember MANY years ago in the late 80s when my girlfriend at the time had wanted to buy me a very special present I had jokingly said that a copy of the first edition of The Hobbit would be nice.
I didn't get it but at that stage one could be had for $8,000 Aussie dollars.
If only my own income kept up with that sort of inflation.
