Hi, I was wondering if any of Tolkien's other stuff has been made in similar editions as these:

[EDIT removed hotlink to tolkienlibrary]

The Children of Hurin hardcover I've seen around SORT OF matches these but not really? I've only read The Hobbit and LoTR btw, and wanted to get these versions because I really like the original cover art, so if I get any other stuff (History of Middle Earth, etc) I'd prefer them to match if possible.


Thanks!

The Lord of the Rings Single Volume 50th Anniversary Edition also has the matte finish. Plus there is another volume of the 'History of the Hobbit' not shown in that picture (as it was initially a two-volume effort).

There are no matching editions of HoME, S&G, CoH, etc.

Fixed image, sorry about that!


Thanks for the info. Will probably still get these since I like the covers a lot more than any others I've seen, and that one-volume edition is too unwieldy for me haha.

Tales from the Perilous Realm has the same matt finish on the jacket but has Alan Lee artwork not JRRT. The jacket doesn't have the copper lettering either - a curious mixture of blue, white and silver instead.

Okay so I found THe Hobbit 70th Anniversary Edition at a local bookstore, but I'm in the US so it's the Houghton-Mifflin version. It doesn't seem like the LotRs in this series were printed here, so I'll have to buy the Harpercollins versions online. Other than the publisher logo, etc, these should all be the same size and everything, right?

Size may be different. My HarperCollins copies are 229mm high.

so does anyone know where i can actually buy the 50th anniversary editions of these online? tolkien.co.uk doesn't ship them to the us, and amazon.co.uk is out of stock. not sure about the quality buying used from amazon either.

my girlfriend got me the silmarillion for christmas and i just ordered unfinished tales, just mostly want LotR now.

I can only find the Fellowship of the Ring in print from the Book Depository, other two volumes are currently unavailable.

Good luck! They seem to be in very good condition, he says that he had read the books only once very carefully, but please ask the seller yourself.
