The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien 2nd Edition 1951 Very Rare Lord of the Rings    The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien 2nd Edition 1951 Very Rare Lord of the Rings
2nd Edition 1951 (5th Imp Overall since 1937). The very rare and important edition of the Hobbit. In this new second edition Tolkien reflects on the new concept of the ring and its corrupting abilities. Tolkien made Gollum more aggressive towards Bilbo and distraught at losing the ring.

The encounter ends with Gollum's curse, Thief! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!

This presages Gollum's portrayal in The Lord of the Rings. This then brought the book inline with the future Lord of the Rings trilogy. Book is near very good and quite bright.

Cloth hinges rubbed in places especially at the spine tips. The textblock has been at some stage strengthened internally at the gutters which has led to it being slightly offset and lower by 3mm.
