Notes:
This edition includes a Preface excerpted from Christopher Tolkien’s foreword to the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Hobbit (as stated in the book). A very attractive modern hardcover for reading, collecting, or as a gift — and increasingly hard to find in this crisp condition as a true first printing.
