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...

No, it's the Deluxe Editions sans slipcases.

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.

A new photo here...
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.

That's correct. The other books in the images are just regular trade editions without jackets. I've seen a couple of people on the interwebs do this to create the illusion of them being matching books, which - of course - they are not.

Wouldn't it be nice if HC did a release of the three HOME books in the style of the new deluxe editions with the colour slip cases? Oh, and the beautiful gold foil motifs on the front board and cover. How lovely would that be!
I wonder if this can be suggested to HC :)
