But, you do have a good point in that no one was 'magical' in the Dungeons and Dragons way. Well, in the Silmarillion, there's some magic during the first and second ages...

Ah - I only vaguely read that one (probably while standing in a bookstore)...

I keep meaning to get the audiobook and finish it - I've only read about half-way through.

Actually, I don't even have my own copy of the trilogy (or the Hobbit, although I did) - there are so many versions out there, I never know which one to get! (I don't want a movie cover...)

Movie covers are bad. I have the '70s reprints that I've had since the early '80s. They're all beat up. My brother-in-law has the fancy shmancy leather bound edition that came in a box... I wager that he gets no more enjoyment out of them than I do. I also have the audio versions (unabridged).

I wish I bought the books BEFORE the movies came out...

I still see a lot copies of the old books. But, there are a ton of used bookstores in Portland.

You could try a request at powells.com. They're kind of whacky and they just might search through their stock for an old copy.

There is always the leather bound collectors edition - I think it was only like $60 or $70.

Eek! That's a no-go for me, then.

(I had to beg my wife for months to let me buy a $70 (practice) sword...)
