Ok, here is a description of the picture above (the hobbit that I believe is Pippin, in the lower left hand corner of the book):

It shows a right profile of a slim hobbit climbing using hands and feet up a root. He has on a black shirt and blue knee-length pants. His dark hair is long, just past his shoulders. My copy of the picture shows that he is barefoot and that his eyebrows are furrowed down a bit, giving him an intense expression (even in my book which is in fair condition, this is hard to see.) You can't see much below this one's knees, so you'll just have to take my word for it till we get a better copy (if anyone is interested at all.)

Ok - Well, funny thing is I used to have those covers, but can't find that set of books. I am afraid I will have to take your word for it on the fine details! Is this Tolkien artwork? - I seem to remember that he did the cover artwork for this addition.
