Hi. I've recently discovered my late grandad has a 1968 Hobbit hardcover published in London by Longmans. I have been trying to find a value or sold price but cannot find any similar listings or any info. All I know is that it is not a common artwork for the book. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
It's in the reading pleasure series

I think it is probably the Pleasure in Reading copy as hints are in the original post
"It's in the reading pleasure series"
garm pointed out the Longman Heritage of Literature editions, but those printings do not mention "Pleasure in Reading", that I can see.

oh, yes - sorry; I missed that. Still' i'm glad to hear that the first one is uncommon; as I have a copy of each.

I'd stick it on eBay (with shipping worldwide). If you make people here aware of the auction, and perhaps on other Tolkien sites also, I would have thought you will get a fair market price for it at auction. I'd probably even throw a bid in myself :)
