A very attractively preserved first edition, twenty-sixth printing of Tolkien's classic. Still printed with the desirable matte dustjacket and bearing the recommendation for The Lord of the Rings by C. S. Lewis on rear flap. We don't come across these in this condition very often.
Tolkien, J. R. R. The Hobbit. Or, There and Back Again. Illustrated by the Author. Boston. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1966. First Edition. Twenty-Sixth Printing C. 317pp + Map.
Good + to very good. Dustjacket with some rubbing and rather minor chips and tears at base and head of spine, and corners and foredge. The cloth unusually crisp with just a few marks of foxing at the top edge. Textually, near fine. Exceptionally bright and crisp.
