Celebrate Tolkien Reading Day with the story of a first edition version of The Hobbit that has its own interesting adventure. Similar to the ring of power in the LOTR trilogy, this book was stolen from, but then later returned to, its home at The University of North Texas. Luckily for all of us book lovers and fantasy fans, it wasn't dipped in a lava bath once it got back home.
I do have an admission. I've never actually seen someone walk past a greeter and refuse to show their receipt, I've only seen them talk about their heroic deeds on social media.
