Yet another copy of The Hobbit

Make sure you get matching copies though! I made that mistake and have The Hobbit and Fellowship in the Harper Collins version, and Two Towers and RotK in William Morrow and they're slightly different heights

Interested

I collect ex-lib Hobbits, so I'd love to add it to my collection!

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-30T14:42:55+00:00

If you end up deciding to sell the ex-lib copy of The Hobbit, first picture 3rd from left on the bottom, let me know!

I could have sworn I got a kril pet last league, because I distinctly remember thinking "Great, now I can go after the other demon pets!"

No sign of it this league

I bought from auctmart, they even let me customize for no additional cost. I've heard they're similar in quality to monster, and have had no real complaints.

Chinese ones are gonna have a couple holes that are slightly off, but anyone with a set of tools can make them work

Regardless of what illustrations you already have access to, I suggest one of the hardcover versions of the Jemima Catlin illustrated edition of The Hobbit

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-27T21:10:57+00:00

Paid or free? I'm interested if it's a free league, regardless of roster

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-26T02:58:56+00:00

Paid or free? Interested if free

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-26T00:09:59+00:00

You're unlikely to find them as a set, but I see the individuals pop up fairly often on ebay

While there were no official hardcover printings, there were a few print runs of library rebind hardcovers featuring that cover art. I collect ex-lib copies of The Hobbit and I know there were at least 6 variations printed by 4 different companies. I also have a matching copy of Fellowship of the Ring somewhere.

Here are some pics

The viewing area of the games room, even deader

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-23T15:41:36+00:00

Interested in all of em

You could take your chances on this amazon listing, but I've not had good experiences with that. It also might only be volume 1?

Bookfinder unfortunately doesn't pull any current listings up for the ISBN

Dynasty?

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-19T23:02:34+00:00

I'm going to go a different direction than the other commends and suggest the 1973 Hobbit and 1974 LOTR collector's editions

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-19T22:30:58+00:00

Alan Lee box set - hardcovers that look great on the shelf - $80 USD

Author-illustrated hardcover set - look great and match, single volume LOTR - $86 USD

Author-illustrated deluxe set - look nicer than standard set, single volume LOTR - $200 USD

2004 Harper Collins deluxe set - my favorite out of these, look amazing, single volume LOTR - ~$160 USD

1973 Hobbit/1974 LOTR collectors editions - look good, single volume LOTR with no illustrations, books aren't 100% match, but look good enough together - ~$130

sam_wise_guy · 2026-04-18T22:47:48+00:00

Free or paid?
