Ilustrated Hobbit

[Beren87]

I quite agree that it is a most excelent book, however on the bacl cover it very clearly states

First published in the United States more than 60 years ago, J.R.R Tolkien's the Hobbit became one of thte best loved books of all time. Tolkien's fantasy was then adapted into a fully painted graphic novel, which became a classic in it's own right...

You can't call a new book a classic!

Btw, what happened to the Books 2?
