Can I ask where/who printed it? I decided I would only order a copy if it was printed in the EU.

I think you need to get this book, even if it is printed in China. The new illustrations are wonderful, I am very impressed with image 142 and it is exceptionally well written.

Oh, image 142 is great - thanks, Trotter.

I may have spotted a minor typo in The Art of LoTR - page 140 says, "A similar rendering of Minas Tirith, but with a remarkably high tower, appears in a later, circa 1946 panoramic view, fig. 136)." Should this refer to fig. 137?

Yes, it should, thanks. The error crept in, ironically, in the process of making corrections during copy-editing.

Thanks for the confirmation, Wayne and Christina.

Another new book I am enjoying is the 2nd, expanded, edition of The Keys of Middle-earth. My proof-reading skills have struck again, though; there's a reference to section 2.3.3 in, er, section 2.3.3.

I have just received an email from HarperCollins advertising "The Tolkien Treasury", a boxset of Farmer Giles, Tom Bombadil, Smith and Roverandom. It mentions "Bonus material includes notes, alternate endings and illustrations by J.R.R Tolkien himself." Does anyone know if there is any new stuff in there?

Oh, and couldn't HarperCollins have used a new title for the set, rather than something that has been used before for an entirely different book?
