Would anyone know how many printings/impressions there were of the 2004 UK Harpercollins Silmarillion illustrated by Ted Nasmith?

Or what is the highest printing you have seen? I can only remember seeing 1st and 2nd Impressions (until today when I came across a 9th) but have not really ever paid close attention either.

Or was there a copyright page error on some 2nd Impressions? I don't have one marked as a 2nd to compare against this supposed 9th.

Thank you Berelach. Obviously there must have been that many printings.

Is the binding of the 6th Paper over boards?

And is "Edited by Christopher Tolkien" not present on the front of the DJ?

I see 6th was printed by Printing Express Hong Kong. (1st was Proost Belgium and 9th GPS Group).

Thanks again Berelach!

That at least answers the question as to whether "Edited by Christopher Tolkien" is present on the Front of DJ.
