    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    it's a big softcover, but the cover's white. it does have smaug & the dwarves on it. the title page says it's the first ballantine books edition, third printing, november 1978. i was raised by a family of raving tolkien fanatics. i looked foreward to watching the animatd special on tv every year with the same eagerness with which i awaited christmas. this was one of the coolest gifts i've ever recieved.
