It is a duplication of the opening drop-cap box, with opening quote but no N drop-cap. HC think it has already been corrected but are checking to make sure.

FYI. It is present in the third printing according to a user on Reddit.

Speaking of printing errors, anyone know if they fixed the Unfinished Tales spine issue yet, in the illustrated collection?

If you have the new illustrated editions of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales, take off their dustjackets and look at all their spines. Something's missing off of Unfinished Tales!

Crikey, yes - they’ve omitted Tolkien’s name. The errors in these new editions are legion. HC need to address their quality control.
