Thanks for posting. That 1946 looks like it has been flushed through a toilet!

Do anyone knows the results?

£180

Is that a typo for the first book (the 2nd impression Hobbit without dustjacket) or the price for the second book (the 1946 impression with water damage)?

Sorry the second one, the other didnt sell

£180 (+ 20%) was too much for that 1946, IMHO.

Interesting that the other one didn't sell. I would have expected it to have gotten a bid.

The £180 (+£36) grotty ex-libris 1946 Hobbit has already resurfaced on ebay from a dealer (ADC) for £575. This is a *terrible* copy for that kind of money.
