What is different in the 50th editions?

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first publication of The Lord of the Rings, HarperCollins is proud to be offering for sale a special, de luxe edition of the complete text, which has been fully reset and includes the Appendices and an updated index.
With access to Professor Tolkien's own manuscripts and annotated "check" copies, and with the full co-operation of his son and literary executor, Christopher, Tolkien scholars Wayne G. Hammond & Christina Scull thoroughly reviewed the text, with the assistance of Douglas A. Anderson, and have restored almost 400 corrections, some of which date back to the first edition.
This special edition also features for the very first time the three pages from the Book of Mazarbul, facsimile illustrations painstakingly created by Tolkien and intended for inclusion in the famous 'Bridge of Khazad-dûm' chapter. Also appearing for the first time are two previously unpublished Hobbit family trees and the original red and black maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien, two of which appear as fold-out sheets.

The text has been printed on superior, acid-free paper and features Tolkien's own Ring inscription in red ink, together with a red silk ribbon marker. The book is quarter-bound in red with grey board that has stamped into it in red and gold foil Tolkien's Ring and Eye of Sauron symbol.
The book is housed in a matching slipcase which features the Ring-inscription in gold foil that surrounds a circular hand-cut hole, through which can be seen the Eye of Sauron.

Published on October 21, 2004 to commemorate the publishing of the U.S. edition of The Fellowship of the Ring in 1954, this could well be the most exquisite (and accurate) edition of The Lord of the Rings yet published. The text has been exhaustively scrutinized and corrected by a team of scholars including Douglas A. Anderson, Wayne G. Hammond, and Christina Scull, with the oversight and continual consultation of Christopher Tolkien who approved nearly 400 corrections. Many of the new features of this edition are aspects that Tolkien had desired when LOTR was first published but were never utilized.

* Color plates featuring Tolkien's own illustrations of the leaves from the Book of Mazarbul (from "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum") are included for the first time ever in LOTR.
* Red text in key places in two early chapters (Gandalf's monogram rune and the fire letters of the ring inscription)
* Two new family trees of hobbits in Appendix C: Bolger of Budgeford, and Boffin of The Yale
* The 'Ring and Eye' device on the cover
* Two large format tipped-in foldout maps (general map in front of book; Gondor map in back)
* Newly revised "Note on the Text" by Anderson and a "Note on the 50th Anniversary Edition" by Hammond & Scull
* Soft grey leather cover
* Two-color foil stamping ('Ring and Eye' device on front; Tolkien's signature on back; title, author and JRRT monogram on spine)
* Gilded edges
* "Flat Foot" design that prevents the book block from sagging over time when stored in an upright position
* Ribbon placemarker
* Sturdy, protective slipcase with inset panels
* Title plate on front of slipcase; Tolkien's illustration of Orthanc on back of slipcase

Other added touches include the use of red ink for the fire-letters of the ring inscription and Gandalf's rune 'signature' which were also elminated at the time of publishing and have now been restored. Careful observers will note a small iconic symbol on the title plate on the front of the slipcase which is the crown of Gondor symbol as it appeared in King Elessar's letter to Sam Gamgee from the excised Epilogue to LOTR. The symbol that appears here is from the version of the letter that was reproduced in Hammond and Scull's J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist & Illustrator, in the Appendix on Calligraphy. The other two versions of the King's Letter are reproduced in Sauron Defeated (History of Middle-Earth Volume IX).
