I don't get it. Why is a scruffy ex-library '61 Hobbit up at 80 pounds? Makes no sense at all!

Thanks for the heads-up. I bought it, as I haven't got one of these, and I'm happy enough with the second impression (and unwilling to spend the big money on a pristine copy, if such a thing exists!).

Glad it went to a good home

I'm also not sure that pristine copies exist, if anyone has a pristine copy then I would love to see some pictures.

Indeed. Those damnable primary school children were so selfish, failing to maintain the condition of the books for future collectors! :) I suspect the nature of the beast is that these will be somewhat "used". Like you, I'd love to see a picture of a pristine example, should anyone be in possession of one.

Thanks for the heads up, Neil, this is probably my only chance for a decent copy at a reasonable price.
