It contains the new translation and 12 colour illustrations, four of them tolkien's own colour art - Rivendell, Bilbo Woke Up with the Early Sun in His Eyes, Bilbo Comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves, and Conversation with Smaug -- and the other eight his black and white illustrations coloured by H.E. Riddett.

The two maps, Thrors kaart and Wilderland, are printed on the front and back endpapers respectively. On p. 6 there is a note from the translator, and on p. 7 tolkien's introduction.
