It did occur to me (& I mentioned this on another forum) that even if we assume that the overall cost to Harper Collins of materials, production, shipping & the like were to come to, say, £150 (it won't - nowhere near - but let's be generous) they would clear (£200x500 copies) £100,000. One hundred thousand pounds on this edition of CoH.

You'll also find on the 'Contact Us' page that the address to write to is "Tolkien Limited Editions" - note the plural.

Of course, this would be good news for anyone buying this one as an investment - however much a one off limited edition will appreciate in value, one that's part of a limited edition series will appreciate even more.....
