As his winter project, Jack decided to catalog our books at LibraryThing. Not much to our surprise, we discovered that we have a lot of really odd books that had not yet been entered into the system. However, we were surprised that our copy of BILBO LE HOBBIT had cover art which had not yet been uploaded to the system, despite some fifty editions of Tolkien’s book. I bought that book when I was seventeen. I have a vague memory that I bought it from a revolving rack in a Marseilles, France train station. I was desperate for something to read, and figured that I knew the story well enough I could follow it with my rudimentary French. I can still remember my astonishment when I discovered an English language bookstore my last day in Paris. What a lost opportunity!
