Thankyou Malick, IL certainly look out for that. Im fond of Alan Lee, and just the odd touch of brothers Hildebrandt Smile

Currently on The Harper Collins website: The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set On Sale: October 1, 2024 ($325.00 Now: $260.00)


Three-volume, deluxe slipcased hardback set of The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout by acclaimed Tolkien artist, Alan Lee. Features exclusive new paintings and dozens of pencil drawings appearing for the very first time, together with three removable art cards and two foldout maps.

(. . .)

Now, for the first time since its publication in 1992, this illustrated edition has been revised and expanded, with a number of brand-new paintings and more than 50 pencil drawings added by the artist.

(. . .)

This new hardcover set of this beautifully illustrated work has been bound in cloth and leather and features brand-new cover designs by the artist. The three volumes are housed in a custom-built illustrated slipcase stamped in silver foil with designs created exclusively by Alan Lee and are accompanied by three removable art cards and two foldout maps of Middle-earth drawn by Christopher Tolkien.


Hmm. First we have "dozens" of pencil drawing appearing for the first time. . . then, more than 50 pencil drawings added by the artist.

Does this not seem like a number of these pencil drawing have thus already appeared, somewhere?

Or?

I like leather bound books.  A dying fashion these days. But I'm not fond of their color scheme of blue and grey. Something darker and richer is called for.
