THE HOBBIT ILLUSTRATED is a handcrafted, hardbound modified miniature reproduction of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien as it contains only the first chapter in 25 pages with 4 full color plates and 6 black and white illustrations.  This volume measures 31/32 inch high by 25/32 inch wide by 3/16 inch thick. It is constructed using traditional book making techniques and other techniques I have developed for making miniature books. The spine is printed with the title so the volume will look well on a bookshelf. I personally make each book. My miniature books are not intended for children and are not toys. THE QUARTER IN THE PHOTO MEASURES .955 INCHES OR 24.26 MM.
