Delve deeper into the world of J.R.R. Tolkien with The Hobbit Encyclopedia, an extensively illustrated reference guide dedicated to The Hobbit. Covering the characters, creatures, places, languages, objects, events, and inspirations found throughout Tolkien's seminal Middle-earth adventure, this richly detailed volume offers an engaging way to explore the world beyond the story itself. All of our books are brand new.

About the Book

Created by Tolkien specialists Damien Bador, Vivien Stocker, Coralie Potot and Dominique Vigot, this encyclopedia explores the many layers of The Hobbit, from Bilbo Baggins, Thorin and Company, Gandalf and Smaug to the peoples, creatures, places and objects encountered during the Quest of Erebor.

The book is arranged thematically, with sections covering characters • peoples and creatures • languages and writing systems • objects and constructions • places • notable events • sources of inspiration. Entries range from the Arkenstone, Erebor and Lake-town to dragons, Dwarves, Elves, runes, Tengwar, Scandinavian sagas and other influences on Tolkien's imagination.

Richly illustrated with action scenes and character artwork, the book can be browsed by individual topic or read from beginning to end, making it both a reference work and a visually engaging addition to a Tolkien collection.

Why This Book Works

The Hobbit Encyclopedia is particularly suited to readers who want to explore the lore and background surrounding The Hobbit in greater depth. It provides a focused companion to Tolkien's 1937 novel rather than a general encyclopedia of the entire Tolkien legendarium.

Customer photo review of Stormlight Archives HC Box Set 1-4: The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive)

I’m so unbelievably stoked and happy about both sets the Mistborn and the Storm Light archives hardback books that I got from the reading spa. I just randomly fell across the reading spa in searching for these quality of books and the reading spa has far surpassed my expectations. I am really excited to continue to fill my library with hardcover books from the reading spa for years to come. Great prices, the books are an amazing shape and a brand new and they shipped them to you quickly. Thank you again for being a place I can count on for good quality, hardcover books.!

Wicked Years Series 4 Books Collection Set: Wicked, Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men & Out of Oz - Gregory Maguire

Store owner replied: Hi Toni! We aim to find special collections! So glad you found us. These are published by a friend who owns a large company abroad! His books are lovely:-) They also have a paperback version I believe... So happy you are happy!

My experience with The Reading Spa was nothing but pleasurable. I ordered the Avatar book set as a gift for my partners birthday. I sent en email to check on shipping and arrival time to see if they could send it out before his birthday. They got back to me right away, said they would send it out as soon as they could, and were very friendly to converse with. There was one book missing that they addressed in our email exchange that hadn’t arrived for them yet. They took the time to send what was there so I could present the gift, and as soon as the other book arrived for them they sent it out immediately. I was able to present my gift on time, and my partner was so thrilled with it all thanks to them. I couldn’t recommend this place more!
