I'm pleased that this is what HarperCollins are doing, any ideas about the colour of the dustjacket for the hardback index?
The date for the new releases of this book is tomorrow (4th March). I notice still no indication as to what the Index Hardback DustJacket looks like.
It appears that Amazon are discounting some of the books by 25% and it looks like they will probably do this with all the new titles so if you want any of the books you may want to wait until they are discounted. If you are going to buy a copy from Amazon, please use the links below as it helps support this site.
Sadly no longer available from Amazon, so deleted buy from Amazon

I haven't been paying much attention to my Amazon account; I had all the new releases saved in my basket for later. I notice the Index is delayed (the only one I actually pre-ordered) --did anyone else order any of these books?; have they arrived?; does anyone know why they are all out of stock? --just the usual Amazon release date nonsense I presume?

I pre-ordered the Index as well when it was £30, it has now gone back to £40.
I assume that they have not been released yet. The release date of the 4th March 2010 actually comes from the very reliable HarperCollins website, the same site that mentioned they would have black covers.

Yet another redesign for the woeful www.tolkien.co.uk, the site has a cycle of redesigns then gets completely ignored by HarperCollins until the next redesign. I think that they are better off selling through Amazon and posting interviews and articles on tolkienlibrary.com.
Many collectors are waiting for the release of the hardback History of Middle-earth series. Originally the books were planned to be released on 4 March 2010, but this has been delayed. The republication of the History of Middle-earth series is now planned to coincide with the relaunch of the Tolkien website, www.tolkien.co.uk. So, the books will be available from 7 April. Also the publication of the limited edition poster of Oliphaunt will be delayed to the 7th of April. We can except interviews and other special features on this new site.

Big changes so far on tolkien.co.uk, they have added the Paperback version of The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrun and have some unavailable items
They should get a test server and not do this on the live server.
It also looks like they are only selling these books through www.tolkien.co.uk and not through any other avenue including Amazon, but still no date for availability.

Amazon currently shows this item for all the books
"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
Sadly it looks like no Amazon orders for these books

The new version of www.tolkien.co.uk is now live, first impressions are that it is a big improvement on the old site.
They now seem to be selling all the UK books with international shipping, are doing a 3 for 2 deal even on Super Deluxe copies, and it is the only place to buy the print on demand books (History of Middle Earth hardbacks).
