I do know that these are available in Brazil/Portuguese, at least.
Thanks! I'm embarrassed now that I didn't think of Portuguese when I was running through the languages of Europe in my head. I'll have to wait on the Brazilian versions because ordering on-line from Brazil requires a CPF number. They're in Amazon.com.br, but will eventually arrive in Amazon.com.
However, Planeta in Portugal has them (presumably in European Portuguese). I'll want both eventually, of course.
[[Postscript]] I guess I've never ordered anything from Portugal before because I need an NIF number to order on-line there as well :p Time to watch for them to exit the country and show up in "free" markets.

One of the facts that may explain why French editions are not really interested in Amazon visuals is Tolkien's publisher in France is a small publishing house, very focused on international literature that the it is commonly called "blanche" in France (understand by this, classic modern literary, and not related to the "Imaginary genres" that are science fiction, fantastic and fantasy).
The publisher has thus taken many years to modify its "Tolkien" graphic charter and to give it a specific visual identity (based on that of Harper Collins), which is a unique exception in its catalog. Now that it's there, they're not going to change it to match footage from the show.
Bergelmir that is a fascinating insight. Thank you.

I suppose I could say that I was not getting Book Club editions, so would not include the Guild edition, but I do have a Book Club edition from Grafton so that doesn't work.
I think I will have to look out for a Guild edition

Sorry, temporary madness - just realised that was the Guild Annotated Hobbit and not the Guild Hague Hobbit you were looking for. Mind does strange things at times.
