Hobbithunter

On this website you will see how, in the year 1975, one copy of The Hobbit became the start of quite a collection of Hobbits and other books by and on J.R.R. Tolkien. My first Hobbit was the 12th printing (1975) of the Dutch translation. It was a birthday present.

At this moment (January, 2010) I have some 400 different Hobbits in 59 languages. The Frisian (local language in The Netherlands) was language # 59.  And thanks to the internet the collection is still growing.

At this moment, only my Hobbits have found a place on the site. In the (nearby?) future more books by (and on?) Tolkien will follow.
So, you better have a look from time to time.

And somewhere in 2010 there will be a bookshop on the site too. With books by and on Tolkien, all double copies from my collection. Hundreds of books are waiting to find a new owner. It might be you ….

If you have any questions or if you have books in which I might be interested, don’t hesitate and contact me. And certainly do so if you have any information that will make this site more complete.

It is my wish to make this site THE Hobbitsite. Will that be easy? Certainly not, but … why not try at least? And you can help!
