That is indeed beautiful cover art, husborne! Do you own the book? Can you tell us who the artist is? Please do show us the other ones - it would be nice if other members also use this thread to show the cover art of their Tolkien books.
Since this is not a book discussion, I'm moving the thread to the Novices and Newcomers forum. Please continue there - thanks!

I'm very fond of the fantasy artist, John Jude Palencar.
Houghton Mifflin has recently released a new edition of The Lord of the Rings with his artwork on it HERE. ~*~ Pio

The thread about favourite editions which davem started almost a year ago might be of interest here.
My favourite edition, I have now found out, has covers by Pauline Baynes. It is the one on the right here and I now have a set which is unbattered and in a box, which I found on ebay for the princely sum of Ł3.  It's the picture on the cover of Fellowship which particularly gets to me, I just have to look at it and I get excited about going on a journey through Middle-earth...If anyone knows of a site which comprehensively covers/lists all the editions that have been put out, with photos, I'd love to see that!

I enjoy the Pauline Baynes artwork very much, but you have just shown me one which really gives me pause, Lal.
It is the cover of [i]Tales from the Perilous Realm[/b]. In style it is consistent with her other work and has a lovely whimsical quality which suits many of the poems in that book, but I just cannot get over the pink sail, if pink it is and not just my monitor's distortion. I am more used to Sarah Gibb's cover illustrations for the book, as shown here. In fact, I based my avatar on the idea of her drawings.  Here is one site which provides pictures of a few book covers. Look here.
