Ah ok, we'll have to wait and see then. Good chance it'll be a Day book, but that's speculation.
Speaking of speculation, this year "The Silmarillion" turns 40. Anyone think there'll be a new edition?
Probably. Any excuse, these days...
Yeah, I sort of hear you there...[still new to the site so, apologies if the reply wasn't a typical one.]
While it's great to get new Tolkien stuff, it's slightly....irksome when some of the new stuff is fragmented but gets its own book [they could have easily done a "Unfinished Tales" type of compendium for the non-M-e stuff.], or if it's crazy thin. And if it's both, well.....overall I'd say Harper Collins is doing a pretty good job.
I just wish that whenever new editions of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" came out, there would also be a matching "Silmarillion" and "Unfinished Tales". I know TH & TLotR are the 'big money makers" but still.....although I was incredibly joyful and relieved once I completed my UK hardback editions
I have fingers tightly crossed that someday, hopefully soon, they will do a "Fall of Gondolin" book in the style "The Children of Hurin" and "Beren and Luthien" [Christopher Tolkien editing, Alan Lee illustrating]; so that there can sort of be a 'trilogy' of the Great Tales, in that design & style.

A Super Deluxe version of The Sil to match CoH and S&G.

I'd most likely be interested in that. Not sure HC would necessarily want to go back to SD territory at the moment, though. I don't think there are enough buyers at the price point they would want to pitch it at.

I hope no one is mad enough to pay that price for those books.
