I asked John about it; my comment was approved but he hasn’t responded yet. Likely will as a separate blog post.

A re-issue of the Trade, looks like the same ISBN, with a new cover, see the start of this thread.

I do too, do we know who the artist is?

That is so pretty. Who needs this text for a 5th time? Well, we do

White HC logo too. I think this will be in matte like the current releases.

I have asked, but it looks like Ted Nasmith to me.

My thought as well, but didn't want to presume.

It is Ted Nasmith, and I have to say he has surpassed himself with this artwork, amazing even for him.

Wonderful cover ! I like it a lot.
But regarding to the setting of the titles on the front part, if this is the final mock-up, it seems the width of the book is not so huge comparing to the previous one-volume edition. Maybe we'll have some very thin paper for this one.
