Anyone noticed that the HC website is showing a hardback edition of Children of Hurin as having been published on 1 August this year? As far as I can see, this looks exactly the same as the original 2007 edition.
Has anyone bought it, and is it genuinely a new (presumably 2nd) edition? If so, are there any noticeable changes?
Can you give a link, I have not noticed this?
Here's the link:

I can't see anything new about it, except the publication date.
Amazon.co.uk also says that is a new edition. No indication as to what is new, though. Trotter, can you ask David Brawn for details and share back with us?
Thanks,
Jeremy

well it is still up on harpercollins website but you can't find it just by looking under tolkien! http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/Titles/86506/unfinished-tales-(deluxe-slipcase-edition)-j-r-r-tolkien-9780007542925
the site is buggy and so I'm used to books seeming to disappear (most of the times it means they are doing updates and images are coming!)

For some reason, it doesn't come up under Fiction anymore, nor does it appear when I search "Unfinished Tales." I figured it was just some sort of glitch - hope to add it to the shelf in December!

Stuff randomly appears and disappears off the Tolkien.co.uk site all the time. It is fundamentally broken - I wouldn't worry about it!
Just got my two Caitlin H's in the post today from BD; very nice looking books, although I'm still not too sure about the drawings themselves...

By the way, anyone else noticed the spelling mistake on the contents page of the Catlin Hobbits?
Thanks for spotting that 'INSDIE INFORMATION'.
I have let HC know for any reprints
Anyone who goes to the new (and not-very improved) tolkien.co.uk site will be presented with a banner that offers the Catlin Hobbit signed. Be aware that this appears to be erroneously associated with the deluxe version, but it is actually the standard version that they are selling signed. Usual Harper Collins website shenanigans :)
