This story is well-known. This is the 75th anniversary edition. There are many printings of this book. I got it as a present for my husband, who loves the story, and had just reread his 1973 paperback. The dustjacket is colorful and heavy, reflecting Tolkien's artwork. The book has various illustrations, some look like ink drawings and others are beautiful, colorful paintings that Mr. Tolkien painted. His artwork is so intricate. The book itself is easy to read. It has wonderful maps. It is a lovely book and makes a great gift.
