Here's another image/mock-up of the clamshell that I didn't see posted already. From the Tolkien Society Bluesky account:
It looks like it's designed to lay flat, with the books bearing weight perpendicular to the plane the boards. Isn't that generally detrimental for long-term storage? Maybe if the clamshell fits them snugly it may not matter much, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't orient the printing on the clamshell spine in the other direction.
