John Garth's blog doesn't add anything that Pieter hasn't got up at TolkienLibrary: http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/1 ... commentary-by-tolkien.php (--for those who haven't read his news piece.)

£20 is also more than I'd expext for the standard Hb, tolkienbrasil. And, for £75, who are you imagining this will be signed by? The cover artist? Certainly not CT...

I think the de luxe edition could be signed, due that price.


It seems most unlikely that it would be signed, IMHO.

It is a very beatiful edition. Just waiting now...

In tolkienbrasil's original post, are HoME (I, II, III), History of The Hobbit, Chronology and Guide, LOTR Reader's Companion just the traditional HC hardbacks...

...with the dust jackets removed? I didn't expect to see them in the "deluxe" line up as in the photo in the first post of the thread.

No, it's the Deluxe Editions sans slipcases.

EDIT: Sorry St. Troy, that's not what you asked.

I really dislike the green on the reprint Hobbit. I think that is the one volume where the first impression is MUCH better than the reprints.

I can't help but notice that this photo, with slipcased deluxes, lacks the specific ones I asked about...you sure they were deluxes? If so, I've never seen those elsewhere (not that I'm so well informed - I'm in the dark compared to the rest of you and trying to scrape together whatever info I can).

I agree with you St. Troy, the pictured books you specifically asked about are (from what I can tell in the photo) trade editions with the dustjackets removed.

There have been deluxe editions issued for the HoMe volumes, see here: http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/gallery.php?subsection=81

The other volumes that you asked about have not had deluxe editions put out by HarperCollins.
