My copies of The Hobbit aren't nearly old enough to have the original version of the story. Additionally, I've never read it. My best hope is the used book shops (since I tend to be rather suspicious of buying things over the internet). I'm a fiend for old books anyway, but I don't have the time to search that I once did.
It would be nice if one day the Estate would release the first version, at least on a limited-run basis. I'm not holding my breath, though.
