A closer scan shows that I received one of the “blurry pages” copies. I suggest opening and checking your copy when you receive it, as there are numerous reports of defects that might warrant requesting a refund/exchange.

. Could I save these images please , I’d like to use them as reference and also make other aware of the issues with the deluxe editon thankyou , does it appear in the same place on each book ?

Right-click on the image and save. I'm not sure if it is clear whether all affected copies are affected on the same pages. I'd recommend flicking through the entire book on receipt. Five minute job at the most.

and I am sure they will arrange for a replacement copy to be sent to you.

A few pictures of my copies which have just arrived.

nice pictures,
seeing the new deluxe together with the superdeluxes is interesting indeed though I think i will keep the LOTR 'superdeluxe' from 1992 together with the superdeluxes and find another shelf for the new one when it arrives.

Where did you ordered your copies Trotter? Are they flawless?

A Great Read, have not found any issues so far, largely because of the boxes they come in and the packaging from A Great Read was also very good.

That's great !

and have found any impression issues?

None, but will still check in a lot more detail.

Definitely looks nice on the shelf and in the slipcase. And I guess, like any book, that's how most of 'em will sit most of the time.
