Same date, I think.

For some reason I thought this was being published in April, but apparently it's June. Thanks goodness for this forum, reminding me of these things...

Pretty sure I read somewhere recently that the date got pushed back, which is probably why you had April in your head.

It did get pushed back... twice - first from March to April, and now to June.

Edit: It may have been April to May originally. Now I think I'm going crazy

I swear I not intend nitpicking, I zoomed in only to see the detail of the motif. But it looks like the "curve" of the slipcase in once again more angular than rounded; which leads me to think this is another China made "deluxe" edition.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up being Chinese, to be honest. Hopefully if it is, some lessons were learned from Kullervo.

From memory the date has only been moved once. It was originally announced for a release on May 4th iirc but was then put back to June 1st. It was late May-Early June while Tolkien was recuperating that Edith danced for him in the wood (Hammond. Scull Chronology pp.100-01) and also he was passed fit on the 1st June 1917 so it being released around 29th May - 1st June 2017 is I would think a more fitting date than Star Wars day

Thanks for correcting me. My apologies for the confusion.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but it looks like that a new boxed set of the HoME is on the way

Hmm...looks like just another reprint of the 3-hardback box currently listed as "out of stock" on tolkien.co.uk. Description is identical. Price sure increased though...
