Looks like my cat's poo when she has eaten something that doesn't agree with her. Maybe it will look better in real life, although odd choice to use a colour that the gold foil won't stand out from. You can hardly read the title in the picture. I won't be pre-ordering this one; Will wait for some pictures on here.

Hahah yes it does look like mucus/poo. However I think I like that it’s not another shade of blue more than anything else. And I too wondered about the gold foil blending in with the boards.

Overall I’m okay and I think (hope!) it will look better in real life.

Yeah, I suspect it *will* look better than the picture, but the print run will likely be big enough that there won't be a need to jump in before some real pictures come out.

True about the print run. But I’ve preordered as I’m afraid I might get stuck with a later edition bound in Hong King or something. In any case I know I’m going to get this sooner or later as it matches the rest, so I figured I’d play safe and bite the bullet.

For all we know, the first impression may be bound in Hong Kong. Anyone's guess at this stage.

Lol true that. Though since B&L was printed in Italy (iirc) my hope is Gondolin will follow suit. Let’s see.
