Notes
Reset; based on the HarperCollins 2004 Deluxe Edition. Similar to the 2011 HarperCollins Pocket Edition with minor differences to the front cover, blurb and binding.
First Printing: September 18, 2012
At least seven printings issued and is available new.
The runes bordering the dust-jacket read: ‘THE HOBBIT OR THERE AND BACK AGAIN BEING THE RECORD OF A YEARS JOURNEY MADE BY BILBO BAGGINS OF HOBBITON COMPILED FROM HIS MEMOIRS BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN AND PUBLISHED BY GEORGE ALLEN AND UNWIN LTD’. The incorrect publisher’s name was corrected to ‘HOUGHTON MIFFLIN AND CO‘ for the 19th Printing of the 1963 Second Edition but an alteration to the original runic inscription was neglected for this edition.
Includes Chapter One from The Lord of the Rings.
Jacket price: $15.95.
