Here is a Hobbit where I have been looking for for many, many years. And now this Hobbit is part of my collection!

Thanks to Gonzalo all the way from Havana, Cuba. He proposed that we traded books: I would get him a Spanish copy of The Dance of the Dragons by George R.R. Martin and he would send met the Cuban Hobbit (plus some real good Cuban cigars). Of course, I agreed gladly. This was my chance to obtain a Cuban Hobbit.

Well, it took some weeks / months (Cuba is far away), but today (March, 22, 2013) the Cuban Hobbit arrived. He was very welcome.

Gonzalo: GRACIAS!
