Nice, but I don't really like the wood finish on your bookcase...

Function over form for me. I tend to be more interested with what's in the book than what the book looks like. And more about what's on the shelf than what the shelf looks like. And I spend accordingly; all of my shelves have been either given to me, found, or purchased very cheaply. But collecting tastes change over time, I'm sure I'll be happy to upgrade the shelves someday. I certainly do agree with you.

Am being lazy, does anyone have the ISBN of the Alan Lee matching editions to the trade HB editions this thread is discussing?With pics too ?? Cheers.
(And Berelach's bookcases are still better than my cheapy Billys! )

The Children of Húrin 9780007246229
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún 9780007317233
The Fall of Arthur 9780007489947

Thank you, I was absentminded when posting the first time, I meant LOTR, Silmarillion
and the Hobbit if there are "matching" Alan Lee editions? Have tried looking through this site but nothing obvious coming up, thanks

The Hobbit 9780261103306
The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set 9780618260584
- The Fellowship of the Ring 9780007136599
- The Two Towers 9780007136568
- Return of the King 9780007136575

Sorry; that boxed set I listed was a US edition. Not aware of a UK equivalent.

Thanks very much, will check them out !

No such editions exist, unfortunately.
