I scanned in the Moria illustration (the one from Tolkien in "A Journey in the Dark") from both the Houghton Mifflin paperback set I have and from the Folio Society edition. It should be pretty clear that even with the same source image, the quality is far superior on the Folio Society printing.
Edit: I did not scan in all of the illustrations - each book had at least one more full-size illustration, and there is an illustration for *every* chapter heading.
Looks like you could probably get them for 80GBP - http://www.hay-on-wyebooks.com/si/A17732.html |
Thanks very much for the scans - I think I should buy the set for my birthday
I can get them directly from the Folio society for 87 GBP though, so no reason to buy them used.
