Hey, we all live and learn on this site, and that’s a good thing 🙂

Seen on HC Website this morning and in other social media spaces. Looks like we'll be getting a new PB HoMe set from HC next year. I don't have any other info at this time.

I really like the look of these, but, I think I would be in physical danger should another set of these appear on the already cramped bookshelves

I also see there’s a Part 2!

I think the new paperback design is really nice, I expect all the previous black paperbacks will end up at some point in this design.

Thanks for sharing, Trotter! I really love these covers, simple and beautiful. Hope one day to be able to add them once they are all released but right now can't justify the expense with the hardback sets coming out at the same time.

I feel like they really should have probably waited to release the paperback to correct errors in the hardback releases, which would also give additional value to the paperback editions.

Also, while I appreciate the set-off colors of Silmarillion and UT given their original publication history and status, I think it would be cool to have a completely uniform (i.e. matching cover colors and designs) paperback set - HoMe, the Great Tales, Silm, UT, and even TH/LOTR. And honestly, NoMe really ought to get released to match whatever format HoMe is since it is basically the unofficial last volume.

Excellent, Trotter.

And The History of The Hobbit, which is similar by design and approach to The History of Middle-earth

Again...where are you getting this information? Context to your posts is a must on this site. As this is a guide website.

I took this as a comment adding to mine that NoMe should be released with a designed similar to HoMe - i.e. that HotH should also receive the same treatment, not that HotH is actually forthcoming in the same design (but that was just my assumption).
