Hi all,

I've been collecting the 1st printings of the HC Deluxe Editions throughout the years, on and off, whenever possible.

After a very long break, I am trying to list all the books available on this collection and search for the ones I'm missing.

Can someone please double-check this list and tell me if I forgot something?

3 2007 The Silmarillion
4 2007 The Children of Hurin
5 2008 Tales From the Perilous Realm
6 2009 The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun (MISSING)

8 2013 Unfinished Tales
9 2014 Beowulf
10 2016 The Story of Kullervo
11 2017 Beren and Lúthien

I saw that, but there are books listed there that don't belong to the same suit (like the orange Sil), so I wanted to ask here and make sure.

Thanks! I wondered whether there was one for The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun but I guess it was too small to make a Deluxe out of it even for HC

They could have inflated the page count with multiple illustrations and further commentary to reach ~160 pages and publish a Deluxe version more or less the same size as Kullervo. Maybe they'll eventually bundle it with something else.

That's beautiful. Elegant without being over the top. I like the font too. I wish they'd give the same treatment to other Tolkien books.
