Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.

Great Copy of a Classic
Bought this book and was very pleased with it. I enjoy the throwback to the original style cover but the way Tolkien intended it (publisher limited him to 3 colors for the front, so the sun and dragon were not red. But with this edition, they are red). Good illustrations done for the 75th anniversary. Overall, really pleased with this copy considering the price. Of course, you could drop $30-$50 on a really nice edition of The Hobbit. But, for the price, it definitely beats the paperback.
