I've got a question about the UK paperbacks of the Middle-earth books.
I gifted a friend awhile ago The Hobbit + The Lord of the Rings boxed set, and The Silmarillion. Next up is Unfinished Tales. However, I'd also like to get him The Children of Hurin.
My question (or rather, thoughts out loud) is on WHICH paperback to get: the 2008 one with colour illustrations, with matching editions of Beren and Luthien and The Fall of Gondolin, or the black one. Right NOW, only The Children of Hurin exists in that style. (To be honest, I'm curious why HarperCollins put it out in the black style to begin with: the 2008 edition is perfectly fine...)
Does anyone if HarperCollins is planning to do Beren and Luthien and The Fall of Gondolin in the black style?
It's a matter of matching with the rest of his books, or getting all 3 great tales that do match.
Comments and insight appreciated!

I have the all the black editions that have come out so far, and the white 50th anniversary LOTR set. They definitely look good on the shelf together.
I imagine if HC did it would look something like the large print editions that are already out. (As COH is really close as well)
I too would buy them.
