Bit surprised at the '63 The Hobbit selling. That copy has been for sale for ever, because very overpriced for the condition.

Is "The Road Goes Ever On" not a bit overpriced? Is it that rare?

Still had the CD and book in fine condition struck me as notable

Maybe it's rarer than I thought.

I'm surprised it hasn't been reprinted in such a long time

What about that Deluxe Hobbit? I think most of these go for around 100 pounds, but I may be mistaken.

The price actually probably wouldn't be that much over if it was all in fine condition, from what I have seen lately. But given the state of the box, seems significantly overpriced to me.

I'm in the market for a '76 (I have a '79 2nd print) and I flirted with buying that '76 Hobbit...but the box was just too much to overcome.

Thanks for your answers.

I bought a '79 print last year for 70 pounds (the box was not ideal, but decent). And even though it's not a first impression, I'm happy I completed the "deluxe trilogy" (I friend of mine brought them from UK, because shipping was very expensive).

Yeah, that sounds fair. IIRC, I paid £70 or so for my first (fine in the original paper in a near fine box) two or three years ago, but I felt that was a good deal at the time (and it was an NZ listing, so there wasn't much competition). Generally I seem to have noticed firsts at a couple of hundred pounds+
