Very cool, think I'll be getting the last one you showed off! 26:55 Just in case you didn't realize, the map with the moon runes on the back is designed that way so you can shine a light and they'll appear, similar to how the moon revealed them in the story
And I thiught I had too many versions! But I only have 8 to your 14 (plus I have the History so I suppise 9). Mine are almost all UK, so Allen Unwin or Harper Collins, including the quarter leather which I can confirm is very nice quality. Thanks for sharing.
21:09.......i think i have this version but the hardback cover is blue instead of black and there is no red color on the maps.....which version is that one
@@swires1 J. R. R. Tolkien The Hobbit Deluxe Illustrated Edition October 2024. I think they had one come out for the United Kingdom. This one's coming out via American Amazon
I'm not a fan of books printed in China, always seem to have quality issues. Does anyone else have the same problem? Regardless I'm jealous of this collection.
Verily, it is a matter of great sorrow that the disdain towards the adaptations of "The Hobbit" doth not stem from the artistry of the creators, but rather from the meddling of those lords and masters who held dominion over the undertaking. In their insatiable desire to mirror the majesty of the revered "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, they embarked upon the ill-fated course of stretching a humble tale into threefold films. Alas, this grievous decision did grievously thin the essence and profundity of the tale, leaving it bereft of its native substance and spirit.

Could you do a video like this about the different “Dune” editions ?
Great collection! I recently got a 1966 version by Houghton Mifflin Company Boston. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

I thought it was Thrór's map, not Thorin's map. I mean in technicality its Thorin's map now.
Come October 2024 will this video get an update?

I like your videos and love The Hobbit the novel but hate its movie adaptations. Too long and too many liberties Jackson took regarding the book.
