Forum Auctions will hold a Fine Books, Manuscripts and Works on Paper sale on May 31 in London, timed to take place just after the ABA Rare Book Fair in Battersea Park and so capitalise on the influx of dealers and collectors to the capital.
This dust-jacketed first edition copy of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, 1937, is among the stars, estimated at £20,000-30,000.
