For godsake. That copy used to sit on my childhood bookshelf but got lost in a move somewhere along the line.
Similar or same? Original cover art doesn't necessarily mean first edition.
Yeah, they still print editions with the original cover art. My elementary school library had a copy with the same cover, but it was printed in the 70s, around the time the Rankin Bass animated film came out and created a new surge of popularity.
Bilbo bargains lol
Fella looks like a dang hobbit.
My only claim is that I have my original 1973 copy. I managed to drag that around for many years
"The One" copy.
