Tolkien collection
I am in need of funds to travel back to Canada to be at my mom's memorial. She passed this week and the memorial is next Friday, our time. I am relinquishing my Tolkien collection including books that my mother gifted me. I am double vaccinated and free to travel.
These posters were bought by me in the year they were published. 1970 and 1971. Rugby England. Map of middle earth and the hobbit. The people who framed them are here in Hamilton and can verify their provenance. There is slight damage to one frame but the quote to repair is minimal.
The Silmarillion is the definitive book on Tolkien. It includes a fold out map of the original Tolkien map of middle earth plus all of the languages spoken in the trilogy. There is also the original director's collection, Peter Jackson, of the trilogy on DVD. Serious interest only.
Thank you.
Poll: Would you shop at a Te Rapa Pak'nSave?
The long-awaited Pak’nSave development in Te Rapa has hit another roadblock, with a speed limit reversal leaving the project “at significant risk”.
Hamilton City Council approved the supermarket with conditions including a controversial speed limit reduction to 60kph on Wairere Drive.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
