lets say I had a 25th anniversary box set of LOTR in mint condition, would they be worth anything?

I've got a mint first edition of Newton's "Principia Mathematica", and that is hardly worth anything.
I'll think about it.selfAdjoint said:The Latin one? I might give you 25 bucks for it.

Granted, this was signed, but a first printing might be valuable as well.Another lucky book owner found his signed paperback Tolkien - "The Lord of the Rings" appraised at $10,000. Do you own a book treasure?
