This is the 2nd printing of The Hobbit in German language, a very scarce edition, printed 1967.

Thanks for the link. Can't remember seeing that cover before.

Very amusing cover. Love it.

Now to find one at a price I am happy to pay (though I am sure someone will buy at this price given rarity).

Sold on a Best Offer.

Another CoH super-deluxe in only a couple of weeks?! Well the last went for close to £1000. Interesting to see what this goes for.

The clamshell has some damage - I'd imagine that will impact the price to some degree. Also is lacking the original shipping carton.

Might just be the camera and a trick of the light, but the surface of the clamshell and even the book just look a bit off, like there has been some moisture or it has been cleaned/polished with something. Odd.

Yes a bit of a bump. And is that sun fade or water damage? Still, there’s not many of them around is there. Looks to be a good few bidders too.
