Over on the 'New releases' thread, I was asked for some pictures of HC's recent 5 volume box set of deluxe editions. Rather than clog up that thread, I'll add them here.

First batch is the complete box.

Photos of The Hobbit. I'm keeping the photos fairly small to avoid stretching the page, but if anyone wants to see anything in more detail, then just ask.

And Tales from the Perilous Realm. My copy of this is quite tightly bound and doesn't stay open on its own, so getting pictures of the internal illustrations is quite difficult.

Thanks a lot for posting these

https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/n ... t_id=11331#forumpost11331

I was comparing the first printing of The Hobbit with the pictures shown here, and even though the limitation numbers do not appear, the ISBN number is different, so must be a later printing.

2004 1st Printing ISBN 0 00 711835 X
2012 Later Printing ISBN 978 0 00 711835 9

The bigger giveaway is that the later editions of LOTR, The Hobbit and Silmarillion are all printed by "Printing Express, Hong Kong".

I am in search one of these sets (or the 4 box set) if anyone has one to sell.
Many thanks,
Chris
