Does anyone have any information on this box set (specifically which books it contains and what year it's from)? I can't seem to find it on TolkienBooks. Thanks! (the picture is from Wayne and Christina's weblog)

I think they are Canadian (hence not on TolkienBooks.net), and it is the three volumes of LotR plus The Hobbit.

For the little it's worth I can confirm this. This box has the same ISBN as the other more common 'Heroic Tales' Canadian box (with the pictures of Lake Town and Smaug) and contains reprints of the Unicorn Edition of the Lord of the Rings, printed in Great Britain, with the addition of a Canadian price ($4.95) on the top left of the upper cover. The Hobbit included is a reprint of the 1981 Unwin Paperbacks Edition with no discernible differences from the UK edition.
