Does Awesome Books take payment when the preorder is placed or at dispatch time?

When I have pre-ordered from them they have taken payment at the time of preorder. I’ve never canceled a preorder from them so I don’t know what their policy is regarding cancelations before shipping. I would imagine they’d have to provide a full refund but don’t know.

Awesomebooks does take payment when the order is placed.

I did have some books on pre-order a year or two ago, and when the GBP crashed, Awesomebooks allowed me to cancel my order (issued full refund), and place a new order at the revised price.

Thanks so much for your helpful replies. 🙂

Some more mock-up images from HarperCollins

Any guesses about the painting we can only partly see on the cover of Fellowship? It looks like it may be a new painting.

Hmmm to me it hints sort of a...black horse on a forest ...clearance/opening? I'm eager to know haha

I’ve reviewed all of my Alan Lee illustrated copies of the fellowship and the single-volume lord of the rings. Afterwards I checked online as far as I could, and this does in fact look to be a new illustration. I think it’s being partially hidden is also evidence that they’re ‘teasing’ something.

I’m quite excited about this release. 🙂

Yes, it looks to me like it could be a black rider at the top of the illustration... Perhaps it will also depict hobbits hiding in the foreground.

Exactly hahaha 🙈🙈🙈🙈
