    Book is in good condition as described, was packaged very well with bubble wrap and foam and a box to protect it and shipped fast. This book is rare, I had a copy years ago (I still might in a box somewhere) and I enjoyed it a lot so I wanted another copy. This was a great value compared to other asking prices. Thank you

    Well packaged, and reasonable shipping charges. I wish it had been described as a "library" book with stamps all over it, but it was a good value.

    A classic

    This edition has the original cover design and line drawings by the Author. It does not contain the color illustrations. If you want an authentic Hobbit as intended by Tolkein, you want tnis edition, or the larger edition with the green cover which also contains his color illustrations.

  • The Hobbit

    It had been 50+ years since I first read Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” and love every physical aspect of this book which appears newly printed. I don’t find a print date, only list of copyrights from original in 1937. The dust cover in vivid green, blue & white is appealing. I particularly appreciate Tolkien’s original maps in front & back of book along several draws throughout the book. But it is the STORY which sweeps me along. This is a book to take a place of honor on my bookshelves, as I cannot afford one from the original 1937 printing

  • Great Literature. Great Book

    This is a replacement for a copy I've had since I was in high school that my adult daughter wanted. I don't even know how many times I've read this. It is an annual event.
