I'm looking on TolkienBooks.net and I notice the colors on the cover of
'The Hobbit 1979' are different than the version I have. Anyone else have a similar copy?

It appears that you have the Canadian version of the book.
From J.R.R. Tolkien: A Descriptive Bibliography by Wayne Hammond and Douglas Anderson.
"Published in Canada by Unwin Paperbacks with different lettering and a black background." - Page 57

I really like all of the Canadian boxes sets but they seem very rarely to come up for sale, especially in decent condition. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
