Precious 1st-edition of The Hobbit found amid reference books and children's tomes
In a find that would be worth of a place among Smaug’s pile of gold and jewels underneath the Lonely Mountain, a rare book specialist has found a first-edition copy of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. On Wednesday night, it sold for £43,000 through British auction house Auctioneum.
