What's On The Cover Of Your Book? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

These are on my dad's books (they're not as old as some people's parents' copies, 1982 I think):

Hobbit: the whole company (including Gandalf) in an eagle nest with an eagle that is at least 10 times Gandalf's size
FotR: The Fellowship at the gates of Moria (Legolas has very short hair and rosy cheeks that are worse than a Barbie doll's)
TTT: Over the years the cover has been ripped off but I do remember it had Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol
RotK: Gandalf and a really oafish Aragorn finding the white tree
Silmarillion: The destuction of Numenor with a Greek- like building being blown-up

My new copy of LotR is the movie version with a shot of Gandalf in BagEnd. I also have a new copy of the Hobbit with an original Tolkien drawing of Smaug and his hoard.
