Notes
Reset; typeset as for the Houghton Mifflin 2007 70th Anniversary Edition. Maps are printed on reverse side of covers beneath french flaps; pages are deckle-edged.
1st Printing: November 1, 2010 – 5,000 copies
At least two printings issued.
Some copies of 2nd Printing have been seen with a medallion on the front cover reading “SEE THE YEAR’S BIGGEST MOVIE IN THEATRES THIS DECEMBER.”
The runes bordering the cover art 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 is left uncorrected on this edition.
Includes Chapter One from The Lord of the Rings.
RRP: The inside flap of the 2nd Printing‘s front cover gives a price of $19.99 (the 1st Printing‘s flap gives none). Minor changes were made to the back cover.
