A first edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit sold for £6,000 at an auction in Norfolk. The book was first published in September 1937, and only 1,500 were ever printed. They sold out by December and so are very, very rare. ABEBooks sold a first edition in the original dust jacket for $65,000. If you look here, you can see how expensive these editions are. This article will fill you in on all the various editions. If you are interested in seeing various different covers, then this website has many different examples of cover art.
