Post a pic of your prettiest book.
Mine is LotR in finnish, printed 1985. It's falling apart and has coffee and blood stains all over it but I still love it.

Far from the best books I own.

But I don't own many hardbacks so these are the best looking ones

Not the prettiest but I particularly like this edition of Jean Cocteau's diaries from his Beauty and the Beast, it's very simple but the color and font are pleasant to me.

how similar is finnish and elvish?
>>
>>8790233
Probably nothing at all with the exception that they are both agglutinative.
>>
>>8788316

...Why does your book have blood stains on it, OP?
>>
>>8790233
>>8790251
There are some lexical similarities too, aesthetic ones for the most part.

>>8790298
Got a nosebleed out of nowhere while reading. After that I also sneezed which made it even more messy.
>>
>>8790233
I'm no expert but there's not much, some names sound similar and that's about it. Tolkien apparently was a fan of Kalevala, book of Finnish folk tales.

The only thing keeping me back from buying this bible is the ridiculous cover and gilded edges and the fact that it's made in China. Otherwise it is probably the best bible I've seen. Thick paper, great illustration, big font, sufficient spacing, almost everything is there at an affordable price.
