2008 HarperCollins UK Paperbacks

Yes, as far as I know those are all the matching Harper Collins editions in that style. I actually have that collection myself (or at least the Middle Earth related books).

The only one that I am finding impossible to get ahold of is Unfinished Tales. Since it has no illustrations it shares the same ISBN number as every Grafton-Harper Collins B-format paperback edition going back to 1992. I've looked everywhere online and contacted countless sellers but so far I've only been able to find the one with the Ulmo cover and the new edition with the gold mountain on black.

I've searched every second-hand book store in my city (Vancouver) and haven't been able to find it there either. It's still to recent, I suppose.

Harper Collins UK said to try to call them and order it directly, but the long distance / shipping cost for Canada makes it prohibitive.

I'd be very curious if any UK citizens would have any luck getting a copy if they were to try.

Very Sorry, but I do not think you can find this item.

The only way to get this, is if the seller gives a photo of the cover of the book that they are selling, so try that on ebay?

It will pot luck finding a copy, I think. So many sellers of cheaper items just use stock photos that finding books like this is nigh-on impossible.

Is this the one you are looking for?

That's it! Thanks, Stu. I just saw this now and the posting expired yesterday. Doesn't look like it was sold though so hopefully they'll want to repost. Then I'll just have to figure out the payment and shipment plan to ship it out from NZ.

If you need help getting it, I am in NZ (and have a TradeMe account) and can purchase it and forward on via the cheapest method. Just send me a PM.
