Lord of the Rings: 50th anniversary edition (deluxe?)

[Lucius Potter]

I decided to start a Tolkien collection with the editions by Harper Collins. I initially wanted to start with the Lord of the Rings: 50th anniversary deluxe edition (the red one), but it appears to be unavailable. The regular 50th anniversary version is still available, but I cannot find the differences between the two (besides the colour difference). Does anyone know if there are any major differences?

Hi Lucius do you have the isbns of the editions?

Just googled - if it is this edition 978-0007182367, it is currently reprinting. I can try to find out a timescale if you want. Retail on it is £100.

The Deluxe version is 978-0007182367
The regular version is 978-0-618-51765-7

I would love to hear about the timescale of the Deluxe version, since I prefer that one!

I’ve asked the wholesale - will let you know when I hear back! (I’m a bookseller so we get a wee bit more access to the back end info on books)

Hi just heard back - the publishers have no date for it yet so I wouldn’t hold your breath. You might turn one up through the likes of Abe books but you’ll pay for it

That's too bad, but thank you for your help!
