Descrizione: George Allen and Unwin, London, 1937. Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Allen & Unwin, 2nd printing, 1937 same year as 1st, with color illustrations by Tolkien himself. Original dust jacket bright, no restoration or repairs of any kind, complete with only minor wear and tear to edges and corners, with minor paper loss in places, as shown. Correct dust jacket stating 2nd impression. Book (and jacket) has light foxing in places, minor foxing spots to cloth front cover, but clean overall, with tight binding. One page, as shown, the page corner has folded over creating a crumple which has attracted foxing. A lovely copy overall , the best I've seen which I can say as a 20 Tolkien book dealing specialist. Now extremely rare in such nice, original condition. This book is for sale on several sites and my sell at any time. This is the earliest Hobbit on the market with complete dust jacket in such fine condition. Don't delay. With the success of the first printing, the publishers decided to incur the costs of printing color illustrations in the second printing which Tolkien produced himself. The text of the first edition was also changed by the second edition to align with the story of The Lord of the Rings, soon to be published. Chapter 5 in particular was changed. These first editions Hobbits have the original text, illustrations and maps. ts have the original text, illustrations and maps. Please ask for a complete set of photos!
