HarperCollins launch new e-commerce sites
HarperCollins has launched a new e-commerce sites offering readers unique editions of work by JRR Tolkien. The two sites follow an experimental online store launched last year offering fans of JRR Tolkien a limited edition of the Children of Hurin. The publisher sold £100,000 of books in just over three months. The Tolkien site, at www.tolkien.co.uk, is live now and will focus on selling special editions of the Lord of the Rings’ author’s work that are not available from other outlets. Its first special offer is a deluxe edition of Tales from the Perilous Realm, which is illustrated and signed by Alan Lee and priced £60.
The Children of Hurin is the bringing together of many of JRR Tolkien’s unfinished works by his son Christopher Tolkien.
There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before the Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.
