"The Hobbit," published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd in 1937 as a first edition second impression, marks J.R.R. Tolkien’s enchanting introduction to Middle-earth. This VG copy, free of previous owner’s name inscriptions or signs of ownership, features clean, unblemished contents with no foxing and a tight binding. The top edge tint remains intact, while the VG covers exhibit no wear or fraying to the head or tail of the spine. A significant piece of fantasy literature, this well-preserved early impression offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a cornerstone of Tolkien’s legendary oeuvre.
