Hobbit Discrepancy - Ballantine Books vs. Houghton Mifflin - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was under the impression that Ballentine Books is the authorized American publisher and that HM is the authorized British publisher. Can't remember where I got that notion, but it's somewhere in the depths of my memory. At any rate, the BB set is plagued with typos that drove me crazy throughout! Not to mention that I really dislike the cover art. Next time I buy a set it will be HM!
