first draft versus finished product?.

I don't see this as that much of a concern...in Bag End, Frodo's looking at the book when Bilbo starts it, in Rivendell, it's when he's finished it...maybe Bilbo edited in between! :) If it were like that shot of Isildur and the Ring, that they keep flashing back to, I could see where an exact match would be more important since that imagery continues to be referenced throughout the story. For the Red book though the first time you see it is so far away from the next time it's seen that I think they can get away with slight differences, from a story-telling perspective. What I think may be a harder continuity thing is the obvious age difference between Bilbo and Frodo from the first Hobbit scene to the first FOTR scene with them, which are meant to have taken place at the same time and place. But even there, the number of films in between those scenes, if you watch them in order, would minimize that impact.
