Not really my style of cover design, but for those interested I saw that Nerdy Ink is releasing a new set of dust jackets for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Some screenshots are below. More photos are at the link:

[ADMIN: removed link, selling these is likely copyright infringement. They look nice though!]

Isn't this yet more copyright breaking for personal profit?

I hope not. If so, I certainly hope it will be taken down. I guess I assumed the larger, more reputable companies, like Juniper Books, have a license for this sort of thing, but perhaps they are just larger versions of the many IP violations on Etsy?

Edit: there appears to be many of these small outfits, and none appear to have been shut down that I can fathom, so I shouldn't guess further.

The irony is that HarperCollins charge less per full book than this company charge for a redesigned dustwrapper. Doesn't seem right to me. If they could not use the Tolkien related text they presumably could not sell any......
