Looks to be a pirate copy, I've reported it to HarperCollins.

The Hobbit Kindle book has been removed from Amazon. Good work alerting HC.

A quick note on "The Science of Middle-earth", the English translation of "Tolkien et les sciences" ...

I think I may have convinced the translator to add a hyphen to "Middle earth" on the cover page. We'll see when the books actually comes out.

My sincere apologies if this has already been mentioned (I tried to read through this thread completely before posting, but I may have missed something), but I noticed today that Amazon.co.uk has added more renderings of the new edition of The Silmarillion, including the rear cover. It's possible, however, that I'm just extremely late in noticing this.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't seen that render before.

Also, as an aside, now that it is 2021 I see that Amazon now has the following text included since I am visiting the site from outside the UK

Interesting! Going by the template that Unfinished Tales had in looking at the standard hardback and collector's edition, I was expecting the rear dustjacket image to be Maglor casting the Silmaril.

For Unfinished Tales, the rear dustjacket image (The Hunt For the Ring) was the same as the cover to book itself from the collector's edition.

Very nice choice, though!

If it can help those who haven't recognized or are unfamiliar with Nasmith's illustrations, this one is called "Turin and his band led to Amon Rudh"

Here are most of his Silmarillion illustrations:

It appears that HarperCollins has pulled the 3rd edition Annotated Hobbit from online databases (again).

Urulókë This book should now appear in the adverts, by using the ISBN code?

Just checked it does

Renders of a book (that has a dustjacket) with curved corners look weird. Once you notice, you can't un-notice.
