Just wanted to let collectors know that it seems an updated Clarion Books/William Morrow hardback Hobbit is out and about. Really not much difference from the prior trade Hobbit but it does have a Clarion Books jacket:

And William Morrow title page:

And here is the copyright page:

I looked briefly on the Harper Collins/Clarion/William Morrow sites and didn’t find a reference to this update.

Oh good. I guess it’s been out since January 1, 1938, so glad I was able to get a copy 😀

But note that the image and description on the HC site are not quite right.

And it also says it is illustrated by Michael Hague

Ordered from Amazon USA last week. So current stock on Amazon would seem to have the Clarion Imprint on Spine of DJ.

I would think then that eventually stores like Barnes&Noble and Books-a-Million will be getting them.
