So sad that many readers who will now come to Giles, AoTB, & especially Smith, will do so through the new combined edition (along with Niggle & Roverandom) out in October with illustrations by Alan Lee http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/...lous_Realm.php. While I'm sure Lee's illustrations will be beautiful in themselves, Smith of Wooton Major in particular should always have the Baynes illustrations.

And here's her beautiful poster for Bilbo's Last Song. Somehow appropriate. http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/deta...eference=61200,
