Yes, Amazon UK. Also, I checked UPS and the shipping was updated to Monday delivery here in Brooklyn, so I'm pretty happy.

My copy came from Amazon.co.uk yesterday - well enough packaged, and in good condition. I am enjoying reading it.

A minor point on the text - in the last paragraph on page 53, an open quote mark was omitted, as it was in the original.

That error was fixed in the second edition (5th printing) in 1951 of the UK Hobbit.

Some errors in the facsimile edition, are still in the current published version, if you look at the final paragraph on page 230 which is also at the top of page 231, the closing quotes are missing and this has never been corrected.

I bought two of these by accident; they both arrived in the post Friday...

Not sure if it has been posted already, but I was browsing Amazon.co.uk and saw this is available for pre-order:

I wanted to purchase a Hardback but it seems paperback is the only option. Does anyone have more info?

I have a paperback version of this title, does anyone have a hardback?

I have a paperback. There are hardback editions out there, but as this is does not appear to be a newly revised edition, I expect there is no market pressure to release it in hardback this printing.

Morinehtar was asking about hardbacks of this book, any info on released hardback editions would be useful, I have never seen one and am interested if they exist.

The original edition was in hardback. I have a copy somewhere. Published by Houghton Mifflin I think.
Personally I think KWF spoiled the book when she tried to add in material from the early volumes of HoMe.
