The American first edition, first printing of The Hobbit.
I used to have three American first edition, first printing copies of this book but sold one, which was an ex-library copy missing the dust jacket, for $6,000. This one is my best copy and is in excellent condition.
The way to denote that this is an American first printing is the illustration of the bowing hobbit on the title page.
