With HarperCollins wishing to reach out and do something special for the loyal Tolkien fans, along with Christopher tolkien's reluctance to grant public appearances, they conceived the idea for a signed bookplate, which Christopher Tolkien signed. It seems approximately 900 bookplates were signed, 450 for the release party at the New York City Barnes and Noble, and only 200 for the UK Waterstones release party, with the remainder held for other promotions. This was the only event that featured both Alan Lee and was attended by Bernard Hill, so the additional signature provides excellent provenance for this copy. Don't expect to see many of these for sale, as most will end up in private collections. A very hard to find edition, with the signed bookplate.
