First edition
The Hobbit 2nd Printing 1965 Paperback Ballantine J.R.R Tolkien. The Authorized Edition.There is a lion ij the cover illustration; it was removed sometime after this edition at Tolkein's demand. This is in real good shape; there is a 'dog-ear' on the cover, bottom right that shows a crease but the rest looks good. The "H" in Hobbit is a little worn, probably where someone was holding the book. This is a classic! Price on fron cover is 95cents.
