They are very nice editions - I have the LotR & Hobbit deluxe. Luckily i won't have to shell out for the CoH deluxe, as Lal has decided to get it

I just have to put it on a high shelf to stop her drawing in it......

The LOTR was the same shade as my school uniform to which I have an enduring aversion - I was very tempted by the three volume with companion in slipcase but £70 I didn't indulge... since i needed an everyday copy anyway...

bout time I heard from Ernie and could have a splurge..

Looks great, and I'll definitely be picking up the deluxe edition. Curious though, will the deluxe edition be missing the beautiful artwork on the cover jacket of the non-delux edition? Or is the jacket just not yet pictured in the photo (or perhaps that artwork will be included inside?)

Couple of interesting bits from the Tolkien Library site. First, some of the dates of Alan Lee's booksigning sessions for CoH:

I wonder if the US edition has American spelling etc ..becasue it is an awful lot cheaper given current exchange rates for the deluxe edition ..might be worth having it shipped ...

No, I doubt it has US spellings as any American Tolkien books that I've got are still in 'proper' English.
