Ha! What a coincidence! I was cleaning out extra stuff from my Dad's place today and ran across that very notice on my Mom's old copy! How funny! :)

This was do to an unauthorized edition being published in the US in the 60's this is no longer an issue.

OH! Actually, I do remember that now! Whew.

Of course... that's not to say the Professor would be especially thrilled with the current copyright situation, but... y'know...

I have two copies of The Hobbit and one copy of The Two Towers with this notice on it. Cracks me up, hearing his 'attitude' come through. "Those who approve of courtesy..."
