The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Published by Allen and Unwin in 1965.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien 2nd edition, published by Allen & Unwin in 1965

A very nice copy of a very collectable book.
This is a 2nd Edition, Fifteenth impression overall, published in 1965.
Lacking the original fifteenth-impression dust jacket, but supplied with a facsimile of the first-impression jacket to protect it.

The book is in a very good condition.
The spine is faded. There are former bookseller's pencil notes on the front map and a pasted-in ex-libris label.

No offsetting or foxing present on the maps or in the textblock, all clean and bright.
No other writing in the book, except for the pencil notes on the map.

The book's cover is clean, bright and unblemished, except for the fading of the spine.
Light bit of pushing to the top spine end, but no wear or fraying whatsoever. Very rare to find in this state.

An early collectable copy that shows very well, sadly lacking the original dustjacket. 

Digital photos available, enquire if interested.
