isn't a blank book with nothing on the pages just a sketchbook?
I mean it *could* be a publishers dummy, but equally it could be absolutely anything that just happens to have a sticker saying "HOBBIT" on.
I would have thought this item might be of interest to a collector, but would also essentially be worthless monetarily. Even with provenance showing that is a dummy for a particular edition, I can't imagine it being worth much...

I agree with you Stu,
this could quite well be a printer's sample (I guess to ask the publisher if this is the right paper and size and casing quality, etc.?) but it is really worthless to a collector as it stands. Anyone could slap that sticker in that corner with some typing on it saying it is whatever they want...
Now a publisher's dummy of, say The Silmarillion on the other hand...

what is going on????!!?
£400 ??? maybe they mistook it for a 82 signed copy!!
The world has gone mad
Anyone want mine for a bargain £300?
I could swap the guy for my 1982 signed copy --I reeeeally need one of these 30th Anniversary copies!
Oh, hold on, I already have one...
(--& it only cost £42, new, a few years back...)

Odd. It's now showing for more. When I saw it and posted it it was definitely on for £400!! How did that happen?
Apologises the £435 looks to include postage to Europe. Stinks if you ask me. Bet it is relished soon
It´s back again and now for even more.
