It is quite interesting to find "Sketch of a hobbit" (Art of Hobbit #102, which says it was "supplied from HarperCollins files") is now in Marquette, with self number Ad.Ms.H2. I wonder what would be Marquette Ad.Ms.H1? It seems the online catalog doesn't have these. Could it be Bilbo’s contract in Tengwar (Art of Hobbit #12, which was also neither in Marquette nor Bodleian then)?
I also wonder, where are the Ad.Ms.H.S files in History of Hobbit now? Are they still in the Tolkien family or have come to Marquette?

I’m surprised we’re this close to release and haven’t seen more press images of either the standard or deluxe.
I have received the trade edition early on July.
You can rest assured that 'wilderland' has been correctly written in the list of illustrations. Please check pictures below

Thank you Emilien, that is great news.
The book seems well made to my eyes, in line with the previous trade edition of the Silmarillion.
As we know that the deluxe edition will not be printed by Rotolito, we'll have different text blocks for the trade and the deluxe.

I generally liked the trades, although I found Silms artwork stretching the canvas too far in general, but in for a penny and all that
I think the overall look of the book is nice. I really like the colour of the boards.
