This is what Folio Society told me about the font on the spine That was a design decision from the artist Alan Lee. There's similar on the LOTR L.E. set too! It reflects too, the inconsistency of the word being sometimes capitalised and other times not in Tolkien's own text. I believe it's quite the topic of debate in the Tolkien fanbase. Also, the two small 'h's on the spine are different too.
15 minutes is pretty fast for 1000 copies, czech limited editions are usually sold out in 3-4 minutes but with the last one they made just 70 copies for the 70th anniversary, even though for a much smaller market.

ordered mine to go with my LOTR set within 1 minute of open.... watched them sell out in 15 min. Fedex tracking shows delivery tomorrow!
Fingers crossed it arrives safe and sound!
