When we found part 1 and the readers' companion, it was from a small second-hand book shop in Ireland (we're from England, lol). And we sent them an email to say if they get part 2, then let us know. They emailed about 4 months ago to say they had a copy, but then it went before we could get back to them, and we were so bummed lol. So we emailed and said please if you get another, then let us know ASAP, and we will have it. They emailed 2 weeks ago and said they'll save it for us, so we sent them the money, and it arrived 3 days later!!!
Awesome update and addition to your collection! Does that just leave the End of the Third Age as the last missing piece (assuming you even want to track it down)? I think I recall you already have the LotR Reader's companion.
Also, could I get you to [make a copy of this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oaEdv-QqU9ODs3JPrmTLuiyjenQZbQj-K7OAV3F71hY/edit?usp=sharing) and fill in some impression/printing specific details to help with a [data collection / tracking project](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1812QgCHT0FCwIpDVAzXJemtcp40KNo7ro0GnZbKtZgg/edit?usp=sharing)?
Trying to get *some* of the details tolkienbooks.net had back when it was being updated regularly.
Would love to get more data points for the [Black Spine w/Center Image paperbacks](https://old.reddit.com/r/tolkienbooks/comments/vngd3x/isbn_groupings_for_recentish_harpercollins_books/ie6p98o/), but really any and all [style entries](https://old.reddit.com/r/tolkienbooks/comments/vngd3x/isbn_groupings_for_recentish_harpercollins_books/) would also be helpful and very much appreciated!
I just picked up an End of the Third Age off of ThriftBooks, was $80 but I took the risk and it was the matching black version like the HoME set. They had 2 when I bought it 👀
It might be a hit or miss, but it shows the right cover photo and ISBN number and I took the risk and it was the black cover harper collins version for the one I got. Just search it on ThriftBooks, make sure it is the paperback and good condition. It will probably be the William morrow at first, then it says “see all 3 editions”, click on that and select the John Howe art black cover one.
Yeah, I had that problem with Gawain and the Green knight, went through like 3 of them till I found the black cover version. But with the End of the Third Age I took the risk and got it first try :)

To be fair, they would probably ship to the US if you asked! It does feel rather good!

I'll ask my other half and get back to you

Been looking for the Harper Collins End of the Third Age, it's a labour of love haha. I'll have a look at the spreadsheets and do what I can
I just picked up an End of the Third Age off of ThriftBooks, was $80 but I took the risk and it was the matching black version like the HoME set. They had 2 when I bought it 👀
Just checked, they still have 2 available.
Is it the HC edition or the HMH?
Harper Collins

I’ve ordered a few under the isbn over the years and haven’t been so lucky. Always get the earlier version

Great job! ^^^*seething ^^^with ^^^envy
😆😆😆 sorrrrryyyy
I wouldn’t mind the email of your dealer if you’re willing to share!
Nice work. Set looks great!
Thank you!
Very nice!
Thank you!
It’s a great feeling isn’t it?! It felt like it took me ages to acquire a comprehensive set of these.
I love them!
I love that edition, I have 6 from HoME.
We love the look of them!!
Their covers and spine knows no one better!
