Tolkien.co.uk now seems to be listing a new three volume hardback collector's edition of LOTR, due out in October. It appears to match the recent Hobbit collector's edition, and is similarly described as a 'film tie-in', although I struggle to see why.

Presumably, yes. It looks like it's intended to match this existing Hobbit/LR set:

Anyone spotted that there seems to be a new paperback Silmarillion due out in August?

Small world, Trotter. I met your uncle last week, in his capacity as a tour guide, and he ended up showing me the picture from the start of the thread. He was comparing the work of mediaeval stained glass artists to that of Peter Jackson, at which point my wife piped up that I was a Tolkien fan. "In that case, I've got something to show you later," he said.

Looks good now. Thanks, Deagol.

Whilst we're on the subject, it's an excellent site, which I find really useful. I notice, though, that it doesn't cover all the latest publications. Not a criticism, as I realise these things are usually a labour of love, but are there any plans to bring the site completely up to date?
