I can add some information to this.

The first 500 pre-orders will receive as gifts :
- a large format poster of the illustration "The Hill: Hobbiton-across-the Water" in color
- a tote bag
- bookmarks (if the bookseller has a set)
On the other hand, I doubt that this applies to foreign buyers. But if any of you are really interested let me know, I should be able to help.

Also, as you can see on the site, the edition should be limited.

Goodies that will be given to the first 500 pre-orders of this "limited" French edition.

The pocket editions have lovely covers.

Those pocket edition covers really are very beautiful looking. I'll be interested to see how these turn out in reality.
