I think these are beautiful... not quite what I would go for in terms of the pictures on the covers, but beautiful all the same.

At some point I am intending to get my original set (2/1, 2/4, 2/4) rebound. Are the prices quoted on Brockman Bookbinders typical?

"A Fine Binding commission costs from 2500 pounds upwards depending on the complexity of the design and structure."

The quality is evident, but two things stand out to me - first, the images are heavily influenced by the movies (which I do not like).
But secondly, and mainly - there’s no mention of Tolkien’s name. I know it’s not meant to be a secret or anything, but what could justify leaving an author’s name off a rebinding of their works?

Completely agree. I always put Tolkiens name (and/or monogram) on all of my rebindings
