Condition: Very Good

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. This book is in very good/good condition with a few condition issues. There appear to be no torn pages. Some pages have "age spots." I've added photos of all the pages. There are about five pages in a row that have creases on the corner. They look like printing creases, not dogear creases. There's a small half inch tear on the back dust cover. It looks like a page has been torn out between the "Printed in Great Britain" and The Contents page. However, after research, it looks like a page is not missing, and the "torn out page" is from the printer/publisher.

This is the ninth impression (printing) of the second edition from 1957. On page 20, line 6, the letter "e" in "the" is clipped, on page 49, there is a signature mark of "C" at the bottom, and on page 223, line 26, one of the p's in the word "peep" is clipped, all identifying marks per the TolkienBooks.US website.


Book is 5"×7.5"×1"
