Tolkien's own illustrations appear in LOTR for the first time

I hadn't realised that no previous editions of LOTR had used Tolkien's art work. I might need to get this to go alongside my edition with Alan Lee's art.
Story here

>1 Sakerfalcon: I didn't realize they weren't included in any editions either! I will invest in this one, without a doubt. I've always loved his artwork. His hobbits are not chubby. They're just small.

>1 Sakerfalcon: Oooh. What a good find. Thank you for the link.

Looking forward to this!

>1 Sakerfalcon: Very clever, Claire. That is a veritable Gatling Gun for book bullets. I am sure you will have a massive hit count with that one simple post. It is like shooting fish in a barrel.

My hat is off to you!

>5 pgmcc: Told you so.

Keep us posted on when this appears! I definitely need this.

>6 clamairy:
That you did!

>5 pgmcc: Now if only I'd been smart enough to buy shares in the company before I posted ....

>11 clamairy: Plenty of time to save up the dosh! But only 5000 limited editions?

Not for sale on Amazon US, that I can find. :o(

But US customers should be able to get it thru Book Depository...

>14 Crypto-Willobie: Thank you! I didn't realize that.

Can never have too many copies of LOTR :D
