Whilst in my local bookshop, I spotted a copy of the 2004 HC Deluxe Edition of the Hobbit. Figuring it to be a reprint, I picked it up for a closer look (as I have never seen a reprint of it before in person). I was surprised to see that it is actually very different to the first printing.
* The green is brighter (and less attractive, IMHO). * The boards and slipcase have much less texture to the paper, lending a cheaper look to the book. * The sheets are much less white and the paper is rougher. * It is printed by "Printing Systems, Hong Kong". Note that there is no indication to suggest that it is anything other than a 1st print (which it clearly isn't, so HC are being naughty here). Overall, nowhere near as nice is the old LEGO, Spa version of the same book. Stu Edit: Given that this was supposed to be available for a "Limited Time Only", it is about time they stopped churning these out! Sigh.
