Nope, sticking with the original 1st prints! I do like the box art on the new set, though. I might buy it to scan it.

I already own the three books, I dont need this.... I dont need this....

EdIt: Also, interesting... Blackwell's has the HC one for pre-order at $78.33, but the WM one is $174.03. A mistake discount perhaps? I wonder should I try and lock in that "mistake" pre-order price if indeed it is a mistake.

The Blackwell's HC listing says "paperback" so be careful...

Indeed! I'll need to be careful with this. Though, I think the Myths box set said paperback for quite some time before it updated to hardback, even though the price was always priced for the hardback. So yeah, I may need to wait and see with this one...

For anyone in the UK, just buy half price from HarperCollins. Pointless buying from anyone else and paying more. Pre-ordering is totally unnecessary.

I expect most of the main suppliers will have prices next week, the RRP price is £90 for the UK boxed-set, so the Blackwell's price is probably correct.

That’s a great price! Thanks Joselillo3

I hope the mock-up images do not entirely reflect the final product. I'd be sorely upset if they keep it showing just TOLKIEN and not J.R.R. TOLKIEN to match the rest of the series.

I am very hopeful that they will, the current dust-jackets for these books have J.R.R. Tolkien on them.
