The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. A beautiful copy of the Allen & Unwin De Luxe Edition of The Hobbit.
This copy is the 2nd impression, published in 1979, of the 1st De Luxe Edition of 1976, with the Tolkien line drawings colorized by H. E. Riddett.
This book is also housed in it's original publishers tray case with label. Bound in black buckram cloth, with gilt artwork on the front boards depicting tolkien's 'Green Dragon" gilt stamped in red, silver & gold.
Gilt ruled compartments with Title, Author, and publisher on the spines.
