About Beren and Luthien, the JRR Tolkien Facebook page is advertising events in U.K. with Alan Lee (a discussion and book signing opportunity). Just like Children of Hurin in 2007, signed editions might be sold on the tolkien.co.uk store, though nothing shows up on there right now, and the deluxe seems to be sold out.

These are the Alan Lee signing events at Waterstones in the UK.

I was wondering if anyone that is planning to attend one of the Alan Lee signing events would be so kind to pick up an extra copy and have it signed and shipped outside UK (Europe in my case).
Of course, I will pay everything in advance, i.e. book, shipping and any extra cost, by PayPal or other method

Aww that's such a kindly request. I'm in Australia so can't help out, but I do hope somebody else can :)

I have a deluxe COH signed by Alan Lee from back in 2007. I think I paid a bit more for it on the Tolkien website (I think). Perhaps they will sell a signed version of Beren and Luthien too.

I'm in NZ, so also unable to help (and will be looking for someone else to help me out too!)

There also seems to be something called The Middle-earth Treasury that's being released later this year. I wonder what this could be... it is also supposedly "deluxe".

A little bit more info on HarperCollins Australian site.

The Middle-earth Treasury: The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings [Boxed Set Edition]

It looks like it is the current Deluxe Hobbit and LOTR in a box-set.

The JRR Tolkien Facebook page has posted an image of one of Alan Lee's new illustrations for the Beren and Luthien book. I can't seem to get a direct link to the image though - the link leads to Amazon. I just thought I'd give folks here a heads up :)

It is a very low quality picture, and happy to post under fair use.

Had an email from Amazon today
