Very good price at the moment on a UK 3rd Impression Hobbit, without a dustjacket.
Seller seems to have messed up on Shipping costs, i.e. quoting £150 to send from the UK to Italy, so please bear this in mind if you decide to bid.
The seller has also not shown any images, or discussed the top of the book, which should have a green stain on it.

Video below, Why does he have white gloves on? Wash and dry your hands before handling books, no gloves.

Just for clarity, it isn't "No.1" of the 500. They can also be picked up for at least 100 pounds less than this one.
