J.R.R. Tolkien's complete artwork for The Hobbit, presented for the first time in this edition.

When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black-and-white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for color plates, which comprise some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world.

Written and edited by leading Tolkien experts Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, The Art of The Hobbitby J.R.R. Tolkien showcases the complete artwork created by the author for his story--including related pictures, more than one hundred sketches, drawings, paintings, maps, and plans. Some of these images are published here for the first time, others for the first time in color, allowing Tolkien's Hobbit pictures to be seen completely and more vividly than ever before.

Great rubber balls to stuff with treats!
Color: Blue/Green, Size: 2 in
Fast shipping, packaged well, nice size dog balls for small dogs. Plus, non toxic for dogs. I use these balls to put different soft small treats all through the gaps. My dog loves it. It keeps my dog entertained and happy for awhile when I leave. Great balls to put treats in. 5*****

Un chewable
Color: Blue/Green, Size: 2 in
I have two grand dogs, actually three but one of them can chew most balls apart in a matter of a couple of hours I bought these balls. They’re great because the dogs can easily pick them up. They’re a little smaller for the smaller dog. I wish they made larger ones. I haven’t seen them anyway, but this dog cannot chew this apart at all, so I don’t have to worry that they’re eating any rubber or plastic. I highly recommend them.

Very sturdy chew toy
Color: Bacon
My Frenchy loves it! He’s not a large dog, but big for a French Bulldog. (32 lbs). He chews both ends, but prefers the snout. The eyes are cute, but began to peel off within the first week. I easily removed what was peeling. Half of the paint remained intact. When necessary, I will definitely replace it with the same toy.

Great chew toy, long lasting
Color: Bacon
This chew toy has been amazing. We have had it for 2 months with 2 dogs chewy on it and it is still going strong. We have a large Golden who chews on everything and and German Shepherd. Big dogs who chew aggressively. Very impressed! Would definitely buy again!
