SynopsisThe stirring adventure that begins The Lord of the Rings, the greatest fantasy epic of all time When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton. Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone--himself included--ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring., The enchanting prequel to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit is the classic fantasy that inspired Peter Jackson's major motion picture trilogy When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton.

    Looked for a paper back to throw in my bag at the airport. This was perfect! Description was accurate, condition of book was great for its age— and it didn’t smell like smoke! Something I’m always wary of with used paperbacks. Arrived in decent time with usps tracking info during its trip. Would buy from seller again.

    Good price, false advertising, poor quality book

    The Hobbit is an excellent book. Unfortunately, Dream Books made my experience with this a major letdown. The copy I got was not the same as the one advertised. And while the art was still great, I was specifically hoping for the advertised cover. In addition to this, the quality of the book was very poor. I understand these are cheap used books, so I wasn’t going to be too harsh, but upon opening the package my disappointment was twofold: there was (and still is, try as I might to remove it) a massive, encrusted brown food stain (I hope…), right across the title and down onto poor Bilbo’s hobbit hole. The interior is much of the same, with pages stained, creased, and home to all kinds of mysterious blemishes. Again, I understand how used books are, but at a certain point selling them, even at the measly price (which was the ONLY good part of this experience) is a lost cause. And should the interior and exterior of the book look as if they were used as toilet paper in the past… perhaps it is best if that one just gets tossed.

    Great paperback and beats a mobile device.

    The Hobbit a timeless classic. Should be read by every child before junior high school.
