This month The Easton Press is releasing the latest in their deluxe leather bound series of Tolkien's works: The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, edited by Verlyn Flieger.

Full feature list from the publisher:
- Fully bound in genuine leather.
- 22kt gold accents deeply inlaid on the "hubbed" spine.
- Superbly printed on acid-neutral paper that lasts for generations.

- Gilded page ends.
- Printed and bound in the USA.
- Rigorous inspection at every stage ensures adherence to our exacting standards.
- Superb craftsmanship and commitment to quality.
- Printed on archival quality, acid-neutral paper that conforms to all guidelines established for permanence and durability by the Council of Library Resources and the American National Standards Institute.
- 5 1/2” x 8 ½”, 128pp.
- $111.00 (payable in 3 installments of $37)
According to their website, they do ship outside the USA (Canada and the UK are explicitly mentioned, and "all other countries" should contact customer service for a shipping cost quote).
