I would love to have the original of The Hobbit.
how much is that in American Dollars $$$?
That’s a lot of money but it would be worth it. (For me it is.)
Wow, that’s a lot of money… But then again, having one of those first editions is of course very special… Would love to have one.
That IS a lot of money (more than my life savings but who’s counting?) I just recently read The Hobbit & I have to say I myself think it should be worth more The Hobbit was such an exceptional book!
