Three Ukrainian Hobbits turned out to be reprints with other settings and ISBN-numbers.

“Thanks” to a hack my site was a few weeks down. In those weeks no less than 18 new Hobbits arrived. The numbers 824 – 841 in my collection.
86 countries/languages grew to 87. Pakistan (language Urdu) became # 87. Plus Silesia now has its first complete translation of The Hobbit.

Here they are, the 18 new Hobbits:

More and more often I am helped by fellow Tolkien enthusiasts in finding missing Hobbits. Among the last 18 Hobbits I mention Kacper Pochopien from Poland. He found eleven new Hobbits for me. And a few more are coming. Brigitte from Germany provided the first translation from Pakistan and a new edition from Armenia. In Argentina, Nicolas scours the market for me.
Thanks everyone. Any help is very welcome.

This time two new Hobbits arrived. One from Russia (bought at Ruslania in Finland) and one from Luthuania (traded for a Dutch Hobbit with Kestutis Samsonas).

These Hobbits are # 822 and 823 in my Hobbit collection. And soon more to come ……

# 5 out of 6 from the Russian serie “Different translations”.

And found several Hobiits for me. Two of them for my collection. Thanks Eric & Liesbeth!

Looks familiar? That’s right, I have a similar cover, but that’s a Hobbit, which was published for free by French libraries (click here).

Where would I be without my helpers, fellow collectors, who give me a tip or buy one or more books for me (I pay them for it!)?
