I just came across this
https://spinelessclassics.com/collecti ... products/the-hobbit-sp136It seems to be the entire text of the Hobbit on a Poster.
Anyone know anything about this? Would they have rights to reproduce this?

I can't see anything from the company stating that is used under licence from The Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins and they do need that to commercially sell a product like this.

This company (and The Hobbit poster in particular) have been around for years. I think they are a licensed publisher for this specific format but haven't asked.

If you look in the lower right corner (where JRRT's signature is reproduced) there is copyright/permission information there. Someone with the poster should be able to post a picture of this zoomed in enough to be legible...
I wouldn't mind this poster myself!

Yes me too - was thinking of purchasing - but only if it was a licensed product.

Excellent. Thanks for info!
Will probably wait for Black Friday Sale - Upon googling - they had a 20% off coupon last year for Black Friday.

I remember seeing them In Waterstones bookshops years ago.
