I too have ordered a copy of the Special Edition via email. It will sit handsomely next to my signed copy of the first edition. ;)
Could someone please advise me of the best shipping option to choose for US delivery? And/or on shipping insurance? DM me unless you think others would be interested.

Absolutely.
I am not one of them as I am done trying to bankrupt myself with multiple editions (looks sheepishly at Tolkien shelves) but I think it is great for the collector among us.

Just spoke with a very kind woman on the phone at M-U Books and she reserved a copy of both editions for me.
Out of interest, why did you order both editions, given the special edition is essentially identical to the standard (bar the tipped in limitation)? I feel like the standard edition is redundant for anyone getting the special.
