6346X1 Eighth Printing. Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston: 1966. 260 pages. Softcover with a dustjacket. Good condition. "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." This promising line, scribbled on a blank leaf of exam paper by a daydreaming don, gave rise to a vast fictional universe, one that would, over the next half-century, capture the imaginations of successive generations. Professor Tolkien's shy, peace-loving "little people" - and their counterparts, dreadful goblins and dragons - await discovery by new waves of readers. The authoritative revised edition, issued with a new jacket and binding to celebrate The Hobbit's fiftieth anniversary, has amended the errors that crept in over theyears, restoring Tolkien's intended text.
