“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.
