J. R. R. Tolkien - The Hobbit

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997. 687th printing of the American (fourth) edition (or something like that--16.00$ price tag on flap). First published in 1937 by George Allen Unwin. 8vo. Hardcover. 255 pp. Endpaper maps. Illustrations by author. Good condition. I'll come right out and admit that the former owner has pasted his snowmen-playing-baseball-themed address label on the front of the dust jacket and front cover (uncouth as all get out but that's Madera, CA for you). Clean boards and pages. No markings. Dust jacket is likewise very good (excepting previously-acknowledged aesthetic crime) and you know what? I've been thinking about it and I think that address label makes the jacket look even prettier actually.
