That's the news I was expecting. I find a remastered digital audiobook version definitively more attractive than a CD attached to a deluxe.
It is just a pity they decided to not include the translation of The Battle of Maldon...

Added the US edition - released June 6th.

Some pictures of the trade edition (courtesy of Stephen on a FB group)
It is printed by CPI group in the UK.
Last time we've had a trade printed in the UK, it was for Nature of Middle Earth. The Deluxe of NoME was printed by LEGO with superior acid-free paper. Let's hope it will be the case for The Battle of Maldon !

The printing location is interesting. I was shown the copyright page last year and Rotolito was listed as the printers.

That is interesting, all in favour of using different printers, rather than just one (Rotolito).

Absolutely. Very happy to see changes like this.

Shot of the spine (courtesy of Stephen who shared it later on on their post).


Looks like it matches up well with Beowulf : A Translation and Commentary, The Story of Kullervo, The Lay of Aotrou & Itroun and A Secret Vice.

At this point personally I'd like to see them update the spines on The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún and The Fall of Arthur in future printings to they match.

(Edit Looks like the upload failed maybe I forgot a step -- anyway here's the actual shot of the spine)

Personnally I have the feeling HC is dealing a bit differently with the scholarly works editions. onthetrail : maybe you were sent a scan of the deluxe's copyright page?
Velmeran : I would like HC to edit a hardback in dustjacket of the recent paperback of Sir Gawain and the green knight, Pearl and Sir Orfeo also, as the cover illustration would be very nice alongside The Battle of Maldon
