Bookstore Stacks Hobbit/LOTR Boxed Sets Into Barad-Dûr

December 4, 2012 / books, bookstore, eye of sauron, hobbit, i like the smell of bookstores (and gasoline!), lord of the rings, lotr, oh shishi people still read paper books? i like that, read a book, reading is fundamental, selling things, stacking things, sure why not, that looks dangerous, there can be only one (case of workman's comp before the company has to file bankruptcy and there are officially no more bookstores), things that look like other things

    This is definitely a Chapters or Indigo in Canada. I recognize the signage.

  • I remember buying the box set when i was younger. I bought it because it had a cool cover, actually. Had no idea what Lord of the Rings was.
