Some images, in case anyone is interested. Design-wise, I think EP have done a better job of this than with some of their other Tolkien offerings. Thankfully they left the back board blank, rather than covering it with an excess of gilt pattern-work. If they had only left the border off the front (and spine), it would be better, but overall, I think it is a decent enough looking book.

Unfortunately, unlike HarperCollins, they do not include the original cover art as a frontispiece, so it is perhaps a bit of a lazy offering, given the $99 price tag.

This is what I really would have liked to have seen (excuse poor photoshopping)
