Having Seen The Hobbit Film Advertised,

I thought I might buy the book,

so looking for a first edition I found one, complete with it's dust jacket, I have always wanted a first edition so this is where I thought I would start my collection, but there was a slight snag, the price! £ 28,500.00, ($46457.85), I knew he was a popular writer, but at that price I think I will wait and see the film, so I will not start my collection of first editions and stick to collecting stamps.
