Reddit mentions of The Hobbit

I have two editions of The Hobbit, the reprint of the Alan Lee illustrated edition:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hobbit-J-R-Tolkien/dp/026110330X/

And the 2nd Edition of The Annotated Hobbit:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Annotated-Hobbit-J-R-Tolkien/dp/0007137273/

(Which contain some previously unpublished writings and illustratiosn by Tolkien)
Both of which I'd recommend as high quality editions.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hobbit-J-R-Tolkien/dp/026110330X This one is very popular. I read it when I was 11 (13-14 years ago). The artwork will blow your mind. If you haven't read it, I suggest it just for the art.

Yep, it sounds great! :D

So, apart from 'home' he has illustrated everything?

• This is it right?

  I read 16 apr 1997, there is not a new one? Any difference with the flexible cover one that's dated 14 gen 2008?
  
  
• Here for example there is another dated 08/20/97:

  Don't know if that's different.
  
  
• There's another from september 1997 too, i can't find the link now.

My favourite by far is the 50th anniversary edition of the LOTR. I have this copy of the Hobbit and love the art direction in it, that alone makes it a safe purchase.
