Hobbithunter

A “new” Hobbit has arrived. Although, new? It has no spine cover, but still this Hobbit is very welcome.
But if anyone has a double copy WITH a spine cover ……

Pretty hard to find, but there he is: The Hobbit from the Quality Paperback Book Club. QPB Club is not mentioned in the book and it has an already existing ISBN-number: 0 395 17711 1. The foreword is by Christopher Tolkien (the same foreword as in the 50th anniversary slipcased Collector’s Edition (see English Hobbit 41).

A new copy of the German translation of The Hobbit: 45th print 2009. Bought at eBay, from Aha Bücher.

Today one of the first translations of The Hobbit arrived: the Portugese translation 1962. Although not 100% in perfect condition, I am glad to welcome this Hobbit.

Thanks to Paulo Jorge S.P. from Portugal. He saw my profile on www.tolkienlibrary.com and was so good to sell me his second 1962 copy. Paulo, thank you!

Two new Hobbits have arrived, thanks to Alan St., who stopped collecting Hobbits.

Italian Hobbit # 15. Almost the same as # 12, but with another Bompiani logo (and a slightly different ISBN-number 7 at the end instead of 6).
Bought in Rome (summer of 2009) by Gerrit M. and Ellen van D. and given to me as a birthday present. Thanks!

Two new Hobbits have arrived:
A Catalan – Spanish version of the comic adeption by Charles Dixon and David Wenzel. I bought this book on eBay. The former owner lives in Chili. Thanks Ricardo A. A.!
The other Hobbit comes from the USA and is a version, illustrated by Michael Hague. This version looks like my English Hobbit # 4, but has thinner paper and an other ISBN-number. Also bought on eBay, from Jorgia (with a Dutch surname).

Thanks to Matthew G. there is a new English Hobbit. New? No, another edition, this time the Ted Smart edition of the graphic novel.

A new Hobbit has arrived, a Danish one. And again it was my brother Marius (he lives and works in Norway) who caught this one. Marius, thanks again!

Three new Hobbits arrived, bought in Norway by my brother Marius, who lives and works in Norway. Marius, thanks.
