Likely the HC is the same offer. Strangely, getting this Mxd Ppk seems a good idea. Sure, mounted 3by6 books, hung over the sofa or where TVs usually go. Yeah that's the ticket.

In general terms, if the publisher wants to offer a pre-packaged case of assorted books to trade accounts, then it has to have a SKU, and thus it shows up in their catalogues/websites. I don't think this is intended for consumer ordering. This sounds like a super easy "I'm a library or a bookstore and I expect to have a huge interest in Tolkien in September, just send me a sample pack ASAP!"

The description is from Edelweiss. I already added the ISBN code, but no retailers have it listed yet. Maybe the ISBN forum code could have a little improvement, showing the ISBN if no result is found in retailer sites.

The HarperCollins 2023 calendar has a cover image now and the artists showcased in it.


It lead me to finding two books by Kip Rasmussen that I had not seen mentioned here that some of the art loving crowd might find interesting. No prices on Amazon UK when I looked but Amazon Germany had them available.
