It has the same ISBN? Thats pretty frustrating :/

Maybe now they'll do another box set though? That would be great :) I'd love to add something like that to my collection. I love the design.

Thanks to the info from Huan about a new Collectors edition Hobbit, I went to Waterstones today and bought one.

The copy that I have is the 15th Impression which matches the size of the 2022 Lord of the Rings editions.

Nice. I emailed my Waterstones and explained... they said they didn't have one but might go into the store tomorrow and see for myself!

Well I’ll let Halbarad take the credit for the information then 😉

Be nice if they did a Silmarillion in this design, keep your eyes peeled in Waterstones. 😉

Lol 😂 I read back a few posts because I legit could not remember tipping or posting anything new, and then realized it was a misquote.

I’m really hoping this becomes a new box set though.

I’m really interested in getting a full 2022 set of all 4. Do you happen to have a link for the newest hobbit to make sure we get the right size and not the larger one?

I think I’d donate a kidney for this set if it all of a sudden had a matching Silmarillion to go with it, since it is by far my favorite of Tolkien’s works.

Sorry, updated my post, and thanks for letting us know about this.

That is difficult as it looks like it is the 15th Impression and above that are the smaller size, you may get an earlier printing instead.

Honestly Trotter, I was only joking! That’s why I put the smiley wink. The main thing is, we all know about it 🙂
