    Just received my book today, and it's even better than what the pictures showed. The seller's timely and thoughtful communication is also noteworthy, and I greatly appreciate their obliging my request of extremely secure packaging. Great experience, and highly recommended seller. A+++++ Way to go!

    In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.

    One of my favorite books of all time. And it is a good "entry point" story for entering Tolkien's world of Middle Earth.The Hobbit is both a prologue to The Lord of the Rings, and in a few places it hearkens back the epic struggle against evil in The Silmarillion, in the First Age of Middle Earth. I can't imagine any Tolkien fan ever tiring of reading and re-reading The Hobbit. This particular edition, in a green binding with slipcase is larger than some others, making it easier to read the runic inscriptions on the cover. The maps inside the cover are also a good scale for reading and viewing. This is a volume I will treasure for life.

    Love the story - disappointed with the product received

    the story is awesome and wanted my own hardcover copy. Unfortunately the copy i received has most of the picture panels torn out of the book. This was disappointing as they add to the story

    Childhood Dreams made real

    What I love about eBay is that you can track down better editions of what you read as a child. I ruined two paperback editions toting the Hobbit on family vacations and back and forth to babysitting jobs… and to spend the money on my own hardcover book with my allowance would have taken three years to save up for. So now 40 years later I have an edition worth handing down for generations. Such a great story I’ve actually read the book cover to cover 8 times.

    Glamorous presentation of Tolkien's work

    In this edition, Tolkien's classic story is presented with his original artwork. It is a delight to see how the author envisioned his own story. The format is an attractive size, allowing for greater enjoyment of the maps and other visual aspects.

    Excellent book! Beautifully made.

    The book is well made and it looks really good on the shelve. The price is perfect for the high quality of the book. I purchased a set with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it was cheap; this lead me to purchase single books, and I'm thankful I came across this book. Highly recommend it!
