The Hobbit (signed by Alan Lee)

First American edition thus, first printing (Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1997). Signed on the title page by the amazing illustrator, Alan Lee. Very rare signed. Lee's re-imagining of Middle Earth and its denizens formed the basis for the stunning set designs and characters of the award-winning Hobbit films by Peter Jackson that followed the wildly successful Lord of the Rings films. Illustrated throughout with numerous full-page color and in-text black and white illustrations. A visually stunning edition and set for the Tolkien fan and collector!
