[tomandshell]

Chris (Gideon), Lonnie, Tom... if I'm able to get them, your all covered.

We can work out the payment and shipping info when we get closer to the release date and availability on the edition types.

Thank you so much!! You are my new best friend!!! This really means a lot to me.

Alan Lee seems to be making a lot of appearances for this book so getting a signed copy should not be that hard.Here in the U.K he is at Waterstones and Forbidden Planet next month,Not sure about appearances by Christopher though...

It looks like you can preorder a signed copy:

From the Q&A at tolkienlibrary.com:

Q: Will Christopher Tolkien be doing any signings?

Christopher Tolkien will regrettably be unavailable to attend any signing events. However, Alan Lee will be signing copies of the book in the UK and further details of these events will be available here.

The Forbidden Planet books are signed by Alan Lee. The books at Barnes and Noble have bookplates signed by Lee and Christopher Tolkien. Speaking for myself, having the signature of CT - the man who shepherded much of Middle-earth from its inception - is the hot signature that has me excited. Alan Lee is a fantastic artist. But make no mistake about it - the Tolkien signature is the prize here.

Absolutely, my post above was not meant to imply that Forbidden Planet's online sale would include CT sig. It was just an alternative (albeit, less appealing one) for those unable to secure any type of signed copy by any other means.

[Radagaster]

Could someone enlighten me with what a bookplate looks like?

For the New Yorkers planning on waiting in line: The Children of Hurin Line Party

For everyone else, don't worry, there may or may not be some giveaways for the Deluxe edition, and this Deluxe edition may or may not be signed by Alan Lee and Christopher Tolkien, and there may or may not be a press release for this event coming out this weekend. And this may or may not be the leaked details of the event. (With plenty more guests/prizes yet to be added)

Maybe this will finally get some SSFers into the chat!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

i just want the money for the deluxe edition of the book... with so many other things to buy i don't know how to squeeze it into the budget.

Bad news guys:

As originally feared they have changed the limit from 5 to 2 per customer:

https://www.theonering.net/index.shtml

As of now I have no one joining me on the line. Anyone who was relying on me should try to make alternate plans. Sorry guys.

Please no more PMs after the timestamp of this post.

I'll do what I can do for those first few who have expressed interest. If I'm able to obtain additional copies, I'll contact those in the order interest was expressed.

So far, as I mentioned earlier... 1. Chris (Gideon), 2. Lonnie, 3. Tom... if I'm able to get them, your all covered.

Alternates in the following order:

6. Puppet Pusher
7. ifu03612
8. woodsy
9. Beren
10. Mudshark

It's OK, and I appreciate your willingness to help before they changed the limit. Thanks!!

I was afraid that 5 per was too good to be true! Thanks for offering Weta! Anyone else going to be there? I'll make the same offer Gideon originally made; I'll pay for your book as well as mine, and we can discuss expenses! Anyone?
