this book is beautiful !!! complete and well illustrated !!! I was eager to get it !!! I have only complaints at amazon (and this is the first time) my copy is a bit jaded, light strokes in the cover (back) and card Thorin was detached !!! I found it at the end of the book as I would have liked to keep it tied the beginning of the book (the original location) !!!! Despite this I'm glad I have this book as I like the Hobbit !!!!
