Notes
Typeset as for the HarperCollins 2007 First Edition.
1st Printing: April 17, 2007 – 250,000 copies
At least fourteen printings issued and is available new.
550 copies of the 1st Printing were issued with adhesive book plates signed by Christopher Tolkien and Alan Lee. 450 of these were sold (discounted at $22.80 apiece) at a release day event in New York City (Barnes & Noble, 555 5th Ave.) on April 17, 2007. (TolkienLibrary.com)
The binding/preliminaries were updated to reflect the move to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt after the 4th but no later than the 8th Printing.
Also issued by the Science Fiction Book Club (May, 2007). This can be distinguished from the trade edition by the lack of a price on the dust-jacket’s front flap, the lack of a number line on the copyright page and the presence of the Science Fiction Book Club number (1232364) on the dust-jacket’s back cover.
Jacket price: $26.00; changed to $28.00 with the 4th Printing. SFBC Edtion: $14.99.
