Pieter Collier has noted that Peter Alford was a bookbinder, who had written to Tolkien asking for permission to bind his Lord of the Rings set with his own sub-titles. Tolkien approved but also detailed his preferred titles:
Alford's set (sold by Sotheby's for GBP 32,450 in December 2001) included the following note by Tolkien:
