You know, it has been a while since I have been yard saleing (sailing?). It's gotten so bad that I didn't attend my neighbors moving sale (IMO the best kind of yard sale) last week, and he had some really nice stuff out.
I did go to the book giveaway a woman posted on freecycle. I picked up this and the Harry Abrams Edition Illustrated Hobbit (1977).
From here

HA1977 — Harry N. Abrams, Inc., of New York, 1977. Illustrations by Lester Abrams et al, from the 1977 Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc., animated film. All illustrations in full color, some fold-out. Illustrations printed directly on the front and back boards: (front) the company in the Misty Mountains during the storm; (back) Smaug's treasure. Clear acetate jacket overlays the book title and author onto the boards' illustrations and augments the cover illustrations with Smaug's image. In the front, he's flying around the mountain to attack the company, even though the illustration is of the Misty Mountains, not the Lonely Mountain. On the rear, Smaug lies on his hoard. Bilbo's ghostly image appears in the foreground. 29.4 x 27.7 cm, 220 numbered pages.
