The Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien Second US Edition 1950's 5th - 15th Impression
$229.00

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
US printing of the second edition. Somewhere between the 5th through the 15th impression since those Houghton Mifflin printings were bound from sheets actually printed in Great Britain. Also, the book\'s is12.7 x 19.0 cm which indicates 5th–15th. (If noticeably bigger, ~14.0 x 21.0 cm, it\'s 16th or later and printed in the US instead). Red on end-papers which Houghton dropped starting with the 16th impression.
Book (Very Good): Tight, square binding. No lean/cocking. Deep green boards with perfect blue titles. Sharp corners. No markings. Toning to frontispiece and title page. White mark on rear cover may be chalk. I decided not to play with it but it can probably be removed.
Will bubble-wrap and ship in a cardboard box. From a pet-free and smoke-free home.
