A Great Read have the deluxe for £61.68 (postage inclusive for UK) currently.

About £1 cheaper than Speedyhen, https://www.speedyhen.com/Product/J-R- ... Unfinished-Tales/25292369

Thanks all. I am in the US as well and Speedyhen and AGreatRead don't deliver to us here. I guess I was thinking of the pattern for the deluxe volumes, which list at 75 GBP but drop into the 40-something range thereafter.

The Deluxe edition is down to $98 USD on Blackwells, FYI.
The standard edition is $35 USD

I went ahead and ordered...the deluxe had been at $114 USD for the last few months or so.

Speedyhen and AGreatRead (according to their website) both deliver to the U.S.

I haven't tried A Great Read personally. Their website says

We currently ship to: the USA, Australia & the E.U.
Orders are sent via Whistl, and delivered by your domestic state postal service. Orders over 2 kilograms are sent with tracking.
Average delivery time is 5-14 working days from dispatch.

Speedyhen does also offer US delivery, but only if you pay with PayPal. If you want to pay with credit card directly, it must have a billing address in the UK.

Don't forget, that if you're paying GBP with USD via PayPal, they're not so nice with their exchange rates and fees.

Nice looking forward to photos! Some questions that I have, that could probably be answered through photos:

- what are the two exclusive fold-out posters?
- does it include a frontispiece?
- Do the size dimensions complement the other collector's editions?

A Tolkien Society member has pictures of the Deluxe edition up on the TS Facebook page this morning. If any of you are members of that page, go in and check it out.

I ordered both standard and deluxe yesterday from Blackwells and live in the states so not expecting mine until late next week or the week after.
