So the new Hardcover Alan Lee Illustrated Complete Books/Set are out in the UK now, and in N.America in August.
They are tricksy too, those Harper Collins folks...they knew that if they just released the set (which is THE HOBBIT, and LOTR together in a slipcase) with the Alan Lee covers as they are on the existing trade paperbacks they might not snag me/us...but they are different art, the bastards! LOL
And yeah, it's gorgeous...so I'm contemplating just a hardback HOBBIT, since I have the 2014 single volume hardcover slipcase LOTR (60th Anniversary), so I really only NEED the HOBBIT in a nice edition to stand alongside that...but man these are NICE. Like nice enough to make me seriously consider the whole set. Because I apparently need THREE copies of all these books...LOL.
Anyways, just a heads up.

Oooof!
This was 100% my reaction too. LOL!
My only saving grace is that it's not out here till August, so at the very least I have time to talk myself into it, or out of it...LOL
I WILL get the HOBBIT tho....I just may bite the bullet and grab the whole set...becuase...well becuase I'm me...
