[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 319235, member: 12257"] ...and Day 163 - nothing huge, picture wise, but it was a huge win for me! To fill in (briefly) a bit of back story, "The Hobbit" was the first book that ever grabbed me. COMPLETELY. and even after near 1,000 more reads, it's always had a special place in my heart and memories. I've searched long and hard for that "collector's" edition that would hold the special spot in my meager library, and I finally found one! It's a small, leather bound edition with pages much like a small leather Bible, and... well, it just feels [I]right[/I] in my hands. Here's a pic that doesn't do it justice, because it's late, and I'm tired... :) [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]95031._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
