Description: This is a rare 1937 first edition of "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd. in London. The book is hardcover and features the author's original color map and drawings. The book is written in English, and it is a valuable addition to any collection of fairy tales and fantasy literature. The book is in its original form and was printed in 1937, making it a valuable antique book. It is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Tolkien's work. The book is a must-have for any serious bibliophile or lover of fantasy literature. Only 2300 copies released and almost 423 were destroyed at the binding factory during the bombing of London in November 1940. I’ve only seen 2 other copies listed anywhere and they had $ tags of $18k-59k. The interior condition of this rare piece of history is exceptional ( almost pristine). Left unrestored as history shaped it. It will add to any collection unaltered by anyone until its forever home.
