Notes
Features Thror’s Map and the Map of Wilderland on the first and last pages. Also includes the eight standard black and white illustrations.

Essentially the sheets of the British Edition bound in different covers. Probably not reprinted in this format.

An almost identical impression was issued in 1982 with a different ISBN.

Strictly speaking not a British edition, this was probably produced for export - it is unpriced. In his Tolkien bibliography, Wayne G. Hammond states that the 1982 impression is Canadian, but some of the copies seen appear to have been sold in Germany. Copies may have been exported to a number of countries. (See also the 1987 ELT Edition of The Hobbit)
