When people travel, they usually bring home some souvenirs. I do bring a souvenir too: the book “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien. Every time I visit a country where I haven’t been before, I buy a copy of the book in the language of that country. I have also adquired some editions from friends who were so kind to bring me a copy when they went somewhere. Thanks to Riba, Laura, Desmond, Akhram, Gonzalo, Petr, Nacho, Darum & Cosetes, Stephan, Nautilus42, Vera, ReiN, Pablo and Marina for their generous contributions.

There are currently 113 editions in 52 languages in my collection.
My latest purchase has been: "The Hobbit or there and back again"
. .

Btw, if you think i'm crazy, check out the websites of these Tolkien collectors:
- The Hobbit Hunter (Henk Brassien). He's got over 400 different editions of The Hobbit and he's even got an online bookshop for selling the duplicated items he has: HobbitHunterBookShop.
- Elrond's Library (Yvan Strelzyk). Yvan owns a huge, maybe the biggest, library of translations of Tolkien's works. He even has the elusive Cuban and Argentinian translations of The Hobbit!
- Mary, the Hobbit, Boetcher's site. She also has a nice collection!


Feel free to contact me if you have any of the editions I missed! xD
