    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.
