    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

    Nice Illustrated Edition

    I read The Hobbit years ago, but had only a paperback copy. I decided to add a hardcover copy to my library. This book is a quality product with illustrations by Alan Lee, whose artwork inspired the movie, which is why I chose this edition over the many options on eBay.
