Was just thinking about one thing :
If the jackets are double-sided, they might not line-up exactly with the matte-finish dustjacket series of books, because books titles are embossed.
We have indeed the reverse of the embossing on the rear side. I'm a bit doubtful about this.
What do you think?
Hmmm, that's a good thought. I would assume that these books will have flat DJs in that case.
Frankly, they could have produced two different states of boxsets, one with JH jackets, and another with 'classic' jackets.
The embossing on the current style is very light and subtle on some titles (especially the more recently released ones IMO), so I'm not sure how much discussion there will be -- though obviously there will be some, because there's always some type of controversy/discussion on every release :DEmilien wrote:

I'll personally display mine with the John Howe art, as I've been hoping for a hardback release using it for ages but I do appreciate the fact that HC is doing something different and offering the reversible DJ with the classic design on it.
I assume part of the reason for not doing two separate boxsets with the different designs is to avoid competing sales (though I'm sure there would be some people who picked up both versions) and having a "lower" sold count for each of the sets as opposed to the larger sold count for a single SKU. Probably part of the reason why it appears that we're not getting a matching Deluxe edition.
