We've mentioned this in a few other threads as well, but I've received my copies now. I have been a huge fan of Norloth's artwork for a long time now (featuring her artwork in the Beyond Bree calendar many times). I am so happy that a publisher decided to do a fully illustrated edition with her artwork. It is fantastic! I made a short (90 second) unboxing video to show some of the features of this set.
There are two versions of this book with the same ISBN (978-7-5726-1492-7) and packaging - one has sprayed art on the page block and features a small sticker on the box to identify it, but is otherwise identical.
These come very well packed in a cardboard box and with foam inserts (HarperCollins, nudge nudge), and each book includes four removable art prints and a paper wrap with more information.
The binding is sewn and the pages are glossy with very good colors for the artwork.
Edit: Copies are all spoken for now!

None of the copies I handled had a mouse pad, interesting! Can you share pictures?
I will also recommend SuperBuy (which is where I got my copies). Though they just got kicked off PayPal, so you have to give them credit card info.
(Also it is possible that import tariffs from China to the USA will be a factor next year)
Yep, yeah here is a pic. Indeed, the loss of Paypal is a nuisance - not personally too worried about the CC deets being used with them (though I used Paypal for both my orders as it was before the Paypal change) -- as they seem to have been around and relatively reliable for quite a long time, plus that is what chargebacks are for - if things go awry.
