J.R.R.Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator

[Arda Frog]

After reading J. R. R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator a few years ago I became interested in the classics with his art for the dust-jackets. Over the years I picked up the following hardcover reprints. All are available from the UK. The 70th Anniverssary version of the Hobbit is available in the US. I much prefer Tolkien's cover art for these books.

If you have not read J.R.R.Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator, I highly recommend it.

I like those covers. I wish I had better resources; Christmas is a long way away.
