New arrival in the signature series : On Fairy-stories, introducing a new black colour. (With the dark grey background of Return of the Shadow for comparison)

Anything revised/corrected from the previous at all?

I don't think this edition has been revised, it doesn't have a new ISBN and it's the 26th printing of the previous 2014 edition.

I didn’t think it had been, but was curious. Thank you

I asked HarperCollins about updates on the 'signature' paperbacks.

Tolkien On Fairy-Stories and The Road to Middle-earth are now shipping from our warehouse, and we are about to go to press on the new Tree and Leaf (which has been reset) and reprints of The Story of Kullervo, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, The Nature of Middle-earth and A Secret Vice with the signature. All should be available by about August (Beware - if customers preorder the reprints, they’re likely to get the old covers.)

For the works on myths and antiquity, we’re varying the colour scheme from book to book, as they weren’t intended to form a series. More covers will follow as we reprint - The Fall of Arthur, Beowulf, Finn and Hengest and The Monsters and the Critics are all in preparation, some not until 2026

Kullervo and Secret Vice look pretty much how I expected them to!

When/if they do Aotrou and Father Christmas, I expect their Signature Editions to be ‘similar’ to the previous/current paperbacks.

Appreciate you updating these 🙂
