Oh, that looks very nicely made, and I love the gold embossing. Are you able to read it? Or is it for collecting purposes?

I have another Chinese version, without the DJ. I guess this one is for collection. Chinese is my mother language lol, so don't be shocked.

I'm jealous that you can read Tolkien in multiple languages. My only other language is Latin, and the Hobbit was not great in that :)

Picked up for £62.55, 6th impression FoR, no DJ but good tight binding, maybe never read, even corners are sharp and not worn

Strangely the ebay seller seemed to have rolled it around in the contents of their household vacuum cleaner bag before taking the picture for ebay. I presume it was for a joke ? (I took a punt at £62.55)

Did not think I would ever get this edition, but thanks to Berelach I was able to acquire the Collins Readers edition, on the right in the pictures.

I think I now have every UK edition of The Hobbit except for some minor dust-jacket variations, such as different colour publisher logos on paperbacks.

But I think I will make the claim that I have all of them now.
