Hard to tell which printing this is as the seller has taken some awful images and used AI to write the description, but what little I can see of the binding, title page, and spine and flaps of the jacket suggests a 12th printing ('61)

The Google Messages picture half way through the pictures is just bizarre. I'd be concerned the entire auction was AI made (pics from other sites, intentionally blurred) to scam someone.

Not sure what this is, given the 1st American Edition points, but different binding? Someone might want to request the photos at least.
Biblio listing for The Hobbit.

It is a library rebind - see a few examples here: https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/n ... _id=50064#librarybindings

Myself and Mr. Underhill have already requested pictures. It is indeed a library rebind…and a binding that I own and have seen in other listings.

(BTW, this book has been up for sale for 2 years…they just recently dropped the price.)

Pretty bad shape, but it is a 1st printing.
