Title: A beautiful package for a classic story
Review: I won't go into how great this book is in this review -- if you're looking at the collector's edition, chances are you're either already a Tolkien fan, or you're considering this as a gift for someone who is. Suffice it to say that this and the accompanying trilogy are great for anyone's reading list. I bought this edition as a gift for my husband to replace the beat-up paperback copy he'd had for years.This particular edition of _The Hobbit_ is a very high quality, handsome book. It comes in a slipcase, and the spine of the book is embossed in gold and metallic red. The cover is a textured, leatherlike material -- I am not sure what it is made out of, but it feels nice. Inside, the paper is all good quality, the binding is strong, and the pictures (drawn by Tolkien) are beautiful, printed on glossy paper.This book would make an excellent gift for anyone who has read and enjoyed this wonderful story.
