The link is no longer online. So can anyone confirm the printer used for the German trade edition ?
Printer is Eberl & Koesel.

Exactly. In France, The Art of the LotR isn't translated and even the traditional illustrations of the LotR (like the pages of the Book of Mazarbul) never were published with the text.
Ahha, thank you, Druss and @Scarlet_Sorcerer. I thought the Art of series had been published in French, hence why I was confused over what could have been 'new'.
We are behind on a large part of the works in France... To give you an idea, only the first 5 HOME were published in French.
However, it's not for lack of talking about the 2 "Art of" to publishers who could publish it but, for the moment, still nothing.

Almost no one...
After reading through this thread, I have ordered a copy of this edition (from Amazon, priced at £87.80) as Christmas gift for my father, and once I get hands-on with it, I expect I'll be ordering another copy for myself.

I have both the standard hardcover and the deluxe version of this and I feel that both are fantastic products. I think it is a great purchase and a great christmas gift for a father.
The deluxe version I took out and went through once to check for issues, but I felt that it was too fancy to read. I was also a little bit concerned about the golden details on the spine of the book, but it has held up very nicely since I got it in early 2023. Granted, I store it with the spine inward in the bookcase and I have not touched the spine since that first time. I guess as I type this, it makes me a bit sad that I treat it like a glorified paperweight, but I am truly glad that I have this edition. I read the standard hardcover edition or an ebook version of it instead and I guess I am okay with that.

I agree with EmilK there that the golden details did make me feel concerned, not only on the spine, but on the cover, too. Maybe it was just my copy and/or my impression, but I felt like they didn't adhere well enough to the cover. I'm also not a fan of the fake leather. I liked the standard version better: the dust jacket is based on the first edition of LOTR's, and when you take it off, only the Eye of Sauron remains on an entirely black background. It's really neat!
