I don't know why everyone's so excited about this new Hobbit 1st impression facsimile edition....
This is the kind of stuff we should be talking about!

Oh, God another turd by David Day. Excuse me whilst I go and shoot myself repeatedly in the head.

That map does appear in (at least some of, I don't have many of) David Day's books. The artist is credited as Allan Curless. (The artwork in his books is not by him, but by half a dozen or so artists.)

I thought we were not talking about facsimile editions, most of Mr Day's books are facsimiles of his first book under different names.

You make a very important point. And he doesn't like you calling him out for it, as I found out. Apparently it is all in the hands of his publishers...

Yeah, a facsimile tries to look like the first edition, while his publishers try very hard to make these look like new books, when under the cover....
