Help please! History of the Hobbit with a leatherette slipcase and felt-lined interior
Hi everyone . . . about 8 years ago I bought the boxset of the History of the Hobbit second hand. The copyright pages show it is a first edition (2007) printed and bound by Clays in St Ives, UK. What makes it unique, at least compared to other boxsets I have seen, is the exterior of the slipcase. It is leatherette (not plain cardboard) with gold inlay and on a plain dark green background - the exterior does not include any of Tolkien's drawings that I have seen on many versions of the slipcase. The leatherette cover feels far better quality than the leatherette slipcase and book covers of the 2014 LotR+Hobbit deluxe pocket boxed set. Its interior is flocked/felt-lined. I've been doing image, Google and other searches online and I keep coming up with nothing. I have a suspicion that it is part of some form of deluxe run but I can't even confirm that. Can anyone out there please help me better understand what I have?
