The '88 Hobbit is presumably the '88 Guild Hobbit with UH Wrapper? I don't think a red sun wrapper without a stripe was ever actually issued by UH, except on the Guild edition.

Right Stu, it is this book...so not an UH book, just a UH dust jacket.

Yep, that's what I thought. I like that edition. Always struck me as odd that UH didn't use the jackets and then reverted to the usual ones for the 1990.
