Good Luck--with the success of The Lord Of The Rings movies, any Tolkien related books are getting harder to find!
Um, what?

Maybe he means early printings? That ones says it's from 1977. *confused, too*
However, if you can settle for, say, a 2000+ printing, I can point you to virtual SHRINES of them at any chain bookstore.
With your choice of about seven different covers.

I'm lucky enough to have my mom's 1967 copy of
The Hobbit
!! I won't let anyone read from it however because the binding is starting to fall apart.
Books are precccioussssssssssssssssss.

Well, there's a reason the bid is at only 99 cents right now.
My mom has a hard-cover boxed set of LOTR from the 60s; something like that might fetch some money. But a battered paperback copy of the Hobit from 1977? Not so much.
