Return of the King (cause then we would have the same book)

I'm absolutely no help, am I?

That's alright, it's not like I know anything about this kind of thing so it wouldn't necessarily mean much to me anyway. I was just intrigued.

The following are among the oldest books I have:
Title: Wells Natural Philosophy
Author: David A. Wells, A.M.
Year: 1857
Title: The Elements Of Natural Philosophy
Author: Edwin J. Houston, A.M.
Year: 1879
Title: A Text-Book Of Physics
Authors: G. A. Wentworth, A.M. and G. A. Hill, A.M.
Year: 1898, 1905
I acquired them from the library of a junior college, where I was
teaching. They were moving to a new building and were planning to
throw them out, but the librarian thought that I might be interested
in having them. And I was.
And, yes, I have read them. They might have been used as text books
the year before I started teaching there. :)
And I do have copies (somewhere) of the Lord Of The Rings.
I don't have the copyright date, but I read them sometime between
1967-1970. I will continue to look for them.
Ozymandias:
It's not my oldest book, but I own a first edition of Animal Farm from 1945.
My oldest book is an 1886 copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
