Hi folks
I seem to remember Thorntons doing de luxe editions of Roverandom, and maybe other books, a few years ago - bound in green leather, limited to 25 copies. Does anyone else remember this? Any more details available?
Thanks

I got one of those, and I know where number 1 is... what exactly you want to know?

I remember seeing three editions, all in the green leather:
The Hobbit - 1979 Folio Society Edition
Roverandom - 1998 HarperCollins First Edition
The Silmarillion - 1977 A&U First Edition

I was just idly curious, really - I had some vague memories, but a quick search didn't show anything. Thanks for the info.

In your own collection?...
Seriously, does anyone (besides Pieter) actually have any of these? Especially interested in that rebound
Silmarillion! Were the other two similarly limited
Deagol/
Beren? (to just 25 copies)

I have one of the Roverandom Editions. It has a small green card inserted which states the limitation to 25 copies and the copy number.
Never seen the Hobbit or Silmarillion as of yet.
