Ever see one sell with the slip case? I’m guessing this goes for at least a thousand judging by how fast people are throwing bids on it.
(Meant to quite the pleasure in reading hobbit)

The book did not come with a slipcase originally (was an inexpensive edition for schools). You might have seen custom after-market slipcases for it, I think.
Also I don't think it will sell for quite that much, but copies are definitely hot these days.
I believe this was the copy that I purchased, as I remember. I thought it a good price at the time and I think it's only went higher.
So here's a curious item. One of the most sought after copies of The Hobbit. Hardly ever comes up for sale and it's so scarce that the Tolkien collecting website keeps a tally of how many copies they know of. Simultaneously hideous and a thing of beauty! pic.twitter.com/vCbezlb7YE
