Just noticed this over on the Tolkien.co.uk forum:

Could this reference to 'the future' imply that there are more of these 'super-deluxe' editions to come - a LotR, Hobbit & Sil perhaps? |

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..... |

The publishers, which deal with the approval of the Tolkien Estate, should be given some type of award at being the worlds best in squeezing every last dime out of material that has been seen over and over again and paid for over and over again.
Paul Simon wrote and sang "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover". These folks should adopt as their motto "Fifty Ways to sell you the same product over and over and over again". I see where the 2008 Tolkien Calendar will feature SIL paintings by one of my favorite illustrators - Ted Naismith. Sadly, every painting will be taken from a book which has sat on our shelves for some time now. No new paintings were commissioned. Why spend money when you have a press in the basement ready to turn out newly minted bills at your whim? |

Unless we can draw from the decision to produce a Sil calendar that the next 'super de-luxe' edition will be The Sil, next year? |
