THAT. IS. GORGEOUS!
I bought a green leather bound, illustrated edition of "The Hobbit" for my wife as a Christmas gift (we're both huge Tolkien fans) and I absolutely love the Silmarillion, but I didn't know an edition like this existed! You may have inspired a great gift idea for this year 😉
Related aside: I had a student 2 semesters ago question if I was a "true fan"...let's just say after quoting passages from the darkening of valinor, (and the fact that I named two of my tarantulas - one gold, one silver - after the two trees), she realized I wasn't messing around 😂
