12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, by J.R.R. Tolkien. A superb copy of a highly collectable book. This is an Eleventh impression (overall) published in 1959, in its original and correct Near Fine Eleventh impression dustjacket. The book is in Near Fine condition with its original matching Near Fine dustjacket. The Near Fine dustjacket shows virtually no edgewear, no darkening of the spine, and no soiling to the white colored areas. The maps show no foxing, clean and bright, without any names or writing. The Near Fine dustjacket shows only the tiniest bit of rubbing to the flap folds, no chips to the edges or ends of the spine. The books cover is uniformly clean and bright, without fading or soiling. A slight bit of browning to the exposed edges of the cloth covers from light exposure. The corners are not bumped, and show no wear or fraying whatsoever. A beautiful, clean, collectable copy. Extremely hard to find a 1950's copy in this lovely condition. Digital photo's available, inquire if interested. Other Tolkien books available, include both the UK and US editions, original cloth bindings, custom fine bindings, and Signed/Numbered/Limited Editions. Near Fine / Near Fine. …
