It's a shame the way they have faded. They were a good way to get a book into the hands of a reluctant reader.

*I'm well aware The Hobbit is not a novelization. But I did see the animated version before I read the book.
I just wish they would leave the cover alone. A lot of the time the books have a good looking cover and then the movie comes out and the cover is ruined.
