In The Fellowship when they are in Rivendell and Frodo sees Bilbo and Bilbo shows Frodo his book, there are a lot of detailed pictures in it. Are there any publications of the hobbit that are like that?

I'm not too sure if there are publications of The Hobbit that look exactly like the book in the film... But if you are looking for great illustations in The Hobbit, there are many new editions which have lovely pictures accompanying the story...here is a description of the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>J.R.R. Tolkien's classic work, "The Hobbit" celebrates its 60th year of publication with this illustrated edition by artist Alan Lee, winner of the Carnegie Medal for illustration. Illustrations depict key scenes such as Gollum and Bilbo, The Wargs and The Lord of the Eagles.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Heres a <A HREF="http://www.angusrobertson.com.au/featuredbook1.asp?StoreUrl=angusrobertson&bookid=0 26110330X&db=au" TARGET=_blank>link</A> to the 60th year Anniversary edition.

There are also editions with illustrations for The Lord of the Rings as well as for The Hobbit.

Actually the Book that Bilbo has in FotR it's the red book, but I thik if you go in to places like Branes and Noble or Look online you might be able to find the hobbit in a similar form.
