tolkien was an underrated self-illustrator.
he created a lot of illustrations for his novels, sadly the publishers seldom wanted them.

Have you even looked at the socialist era covers?
The philosophical texts are nice and neutral. And sometimes the costs are comparable, this goes for classic literature too.
I agree that they are cheap and nice, and have some nice texts (Honestly, I don't think there is a nicer edition of Confucius that was recently in print)
But you have to be really careful not to damage these, the nyomoronc.
P.S. The cover of Tao te Ching is retarded with the sinto gate
I wish they would reprint Wittgenstein in this edition

>In her spare time, the Danish monarch enjoys painting and over the years she has held many art shows. Her illustrations were used for the Danish edition of The Lord of the Rings, under the pseudonym Ingahild Grathmer, after she sent them to J.R.R. Tolkien who was instantly impressed by the royal's drawings.
