Think I may take you up on that suggestion[/QUOTE]
I'm really enjoying it. I will say, too, that reading the HC trade edition is very nice indeed. It has the two-colour printing and heavier paper...
I’ve been reading The Fall of Numenor, and I have to say I think it’s really worth getting and reading. It takes second age tales from a number of different sources, and assembles them into a...

As someone who has read the Silmarillion, unfinished tales, and the history of middle earth, I still enjoy these assembled narratives for what they are. It is nice to experience the stories in a...
Nice! Glad you got one, Bill.
(I’m also in the “don’t need another copy of lord of the rings” camp. But lately, HarperCollins have been releasing such nice editions, it’s hard to resist. I don’t...
WOW, Mae! What a bargain. Nicely done.
Lost Tolkien Manuscript FOUND: “Concerning… The Hoard”
I've only leafed through it; it's on my TBR. Contents are very similar in nature (ha ha) to The Peoples Of Middle Earth - various latter-day essays and notes by Tolkien on aspects of Middle Earth, in...
It’s coming in November, looks like I need to get it too, for my complete deluxe Middle Earth collection. I have The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin, Tales from the...
I think the Deluxe LotR Edition is very nice and worth having. There’s also a trade edition with the same content.
Unfortunately, the deluxe edition was plagued with manufacturing issues in many...
It looks interesting, similar in nature to the Great Tales volumes.

The Complete Guide to Middle-earth Deluxe:...
There will be two other additions this year to the various slipcased deluxe series from Harpercollins:
The Complete Guide to Middle-earth:...
It's looks very nice, but at $1500 I passed. 1000 other people chose differently. :)

WOW. Love that.
I think the main issues reported are some fraying of the edge of the cloth where it meets the red leather of the spine, and some pages which appeared to have been printed twice (ie. the same text...
There's been a recent discussion in the FB Tolkien group about the deluxe slipcased Hobbit edition. We had a similar discussion about a year ago here, on how to identify a first printing (as no...
Both my deluxe and trade editions are first printings.
My order from Blackwell’s got canceled on October 10, so I re-ordered them on October 11. Those are the books that arrived yesterday, so I...
I got mine yesterday as well, from Blackwell's, and it arrived unscathed. HarperCollins putting it in its own cardboard sleeve is much appreciated as well.
Very nice edition indeed. The trade...
