For the UK Deluxe editions, HarperCollins may issue at least two more.

1 - A Secret Vice
2 - The Lay of Aotrou & Itroun

but I think these would be the final editions, if published.

Well they could also release Letters By Tolkien, The Father Christmas Letters, Mr. Bliss... who knows.

Yes, but these could have already been released, and you could add Roverandom, plus a lot more to the list

I still think the two titles that I mentioned are the most likely to be the last deluxe editions, but as you said who knows.

I did not expect HOME to have a deluxe version, so you may be right

would need pages as thick as pre-school books to get some of those into "deluxe" format.

Mind you, could be worse -- At least we don't have simultaneous publications of the same book in different colours, as per Harry Potter (you can buy a different printing for each house).

LoTR Saruman Edition, Sauron Edition, Hobbits Edition, Dwarves Edition, etc....

Roverandom is already in Tales From The Perilous Realm, right?

As for Letters and Mr. Bliss, the current paperbacks/hardbacks have more pages than Kullervo if my recollection is correct.

So it is conceivable they could get the deluxe treatment. All speculation :)

True about the Harry Potter editions - those are just sad :-/

Make the text big enough and anything is possible...

Ewwwwwww!!! This has to be the most uninspired of all the motifs in the deluxe series.

I am sorely disappointed. They could have easily come up with a nice motif based on Tolkien's many art pieces. How terrible! :(

Edit: Also, the spine does not match the rest of the books. Whoever approved this design?

Just looks like an updated version of the existing trade box but with a bit of added "fluff". Pointless release and considering that the original box is littered with errors I would be won over with a totally revamped and updated version. But alas, I have more than enough HoME volumes.

Let's hope it's just a temporary placeholder image...
