I know many disagree, but I just find this 'signature series' clinical and boring in a way, even more so than the 'black series'. The first round of Howe's and the garlands suited my particular taste better.

Agreed.

I think these feel like webpages from 1992, with the generic back texture and the circle looks like the highlighting on an old-school web-link. They don't really work for me at all, but some are much better/worse than others. Seems a shame to take great art (in some cases) and crop it into a circle. Total waste for the Gawain and FoA.

Finally got The Road to Middle-earth.

Thank you Trotter. Waiting for my own copies of A secret vice and Sir Gawain.
Is A secret vice a new edition or does it takes over the last impression of the previous edition?

I think so, it is a 5th impression.
