This did look like a lovely edition :) such a huge shame about the misalignment of the stamp on the slipcase though :( I think I might have been a bit more cross considering the cost involved. I thought the design was beautiful otherwise. Hope you enjoy it! Will look forward to more videos - I always enjoy your content.
Nice presentation, would have loved a closer look at the pictures. Will be buying a copy myself, not from Amazon though, I have received enough damaged books from them.
Ah you didn't show the fold-out portion at the front! That's OK though. Also, I'm GUESSING this matches the other deluxe editions in terms of height? There have been a few releases that didn't: the 60th anniversary illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings by Alan Lee, as well as the deluxe edition of The Hobbit, illustrated by Jemima Catlin.
Yes I didn't realise that it had a fold out bit until after the video - that's the problem doing a "live" unboxing I guess! I'll put a picture on Twitter tomorrow of it lined up against the others, but it seems to match up.
I've thought about doing that, but it wouldn't work very well because there's far less detail in The Hobbit about the journey Bilbo took. I might do one just looking at key points in the story... One day...

@@TalkingTolkien No problem at all! Please don't take that as criticism. Very good videos, I use the David Day one often.
