I can add some information to this.
The first 500 pre-orders will receive as gifts :
- a large format poster of the illustration "The Hill: Hobbiton-across-the Water" in color
- a tote bag
- bookmarks (if the bookseller has a set)
On the other hand, I doubt that this applies to foreign buyers. But if any of you are really interested let me know, I should be able to help.
Also, as you can see on the site, the edition should be limited.
