I have these UK Large Print editions, I don’t think they are a “set” but they are all black and the same size.

I have a few questions that someone may be able to help with.
a; Is there a similar Large Print Silmarillion? I have been unable to find one.
b; The Children of Hurin I have is gloss but all the other books are matt, is there a matt version?
c; Are there any other Large Print books which would match these?

Funny how coincidence works. I literally just found a new edition of The Silmarillion which will be published this year apparently and was on my way to TCG to post it.

Well, with this announcement of a LP Silmarillion, this will be the first one ever printed if true.

My LP CoH is mat and I bought it last year, so I think if you order one from a major retailer you would get a mat cover at this time.

No, there are not anymore volumes in that style for LP editions at this time. You have them all (the paperbacks at least).

I think considering getting this large print Silmarillion edition. Are all the other large print editions out of print?

That is amazing. Thank you!

Found them all now and will be ordering them shortly. As I have gotten older, my eyes feel strained from reading those mass market paperbacks for hours on end (yes, I know I should take more breaks). Perhaps this will be my reading set for commuting or travelling.

For those that are also looking for these, here are all the ISBNs I could find beyond Hobbit and Silmarillion:
