Are there any copies out there that aren't ridiculously expensive?
Thanks,

I honestly don't really know.
Though, keep in mind that this section is aimed to be a space in which people can discuss together about books and films; but, it's quite taken for granted that a lore-oriented and theoretical/speculative approach is generally how we are supposed to deal with this section's themes
Questions of this kind can easily be managed in the wide and wild lands of the Internet.
The History of Middle Earth is published in twelve books, and (usually) 10 Pound/Dollars/Euros per book on Amazon isn't exactly "ridiculously expensive".
The compilation I came up with is around $200.
For twelve books it's not that much. Also; you don't have to buy them all at once, and if you do there is a complete set for 170$ on Amazon.com and for 140 pounds/euros on Amazon Uk/Germany. So you won't have to pay 200$!
As I wrote above, a good research throughout the Internet might certainly provide useful elements for what you – ahdover – are seeking for.
If you have any further question, you can easily contact Saruman or other ones you know via PMs.
In case you are willing to establish a lore discussion, in the future, about this same book, you can PM me and I will see if I can restructure the thread according to that wish; otherwise, this topic is closed.
