A quick UK internet search didn't help, but I am presuming it was published in the USA!
When they open I'll ring Foyles - a big UK book store which literally seems to be a copyright library - it's hard to find anything published that's not in there (although an exception only proves a rule eh?
fingers crossed!

Yes I agree! It also caught my eye as August the 12th is the date Mark and I started going out - just over 6 years ago!  No, I have not even seen these stamps! I have not got the TT and ROTK stamps for LOTR but no HP ones... have you got a link with some pictures?  Thanks! Roz |

They are cooool! Are they current? You are going to have to start selling them to board members.. but we will only take delivery of them if you use HP stamps to send them  just kidding but we bought some LOTR stamps once and they had done that and I thought it was a nice touch to buy LOTR loose stamps to post them with |

I would buy and send you a copy of the equivalent LOTR set with the HP ones - but they are completely sold out! Ouch  - I am not a stamp collector myself, nevertheless, I should have gotten a set when they first came out, but kept putting it off. Australia post seem to be putting out a set for each new blockbuster - Shrek 2 set has been released http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3476&item=5516940130&rd=1Here's an auction for one, let me know if you like it and I will see if I can send a set off for you for Xmas |

You didn't in the UK? I am surprised... We seem to take any opportunity to print out souvenir stamp sheets - just released stamps for every Aussie Olympic gold medallist this week  |

Well - we did have some LOTR stamps but they were traditional LOTR - old drawings of scenes like the tree of Gondor - very cool but lacking in the Viggo stakes  |

Oh Roz... and I thought you liked LOTR for the storyline alone |

Well... I did buy a set of the stamps... in presentation pack, first day cover and postcard set to share with Mark... so it's not like I was dis-interested - it's just that they have an old and mysterious feel to them rather than the filmy feel! Which despite using lots of this art has a totally different feel! honest guv |
