To coincide with release of the book 'Children of Hurin' there is a Tolkein exhibition on which will be attended by Alan Lee. He will be signing copies of the book which he has provided the art work for. Details here: http://www.adcbooks.co.uk/ (http://www.adcbooks.co.uk/) : Re: Alan Lee signing : RichT April 16, 2007, 09:05:15 PM If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of the Children of Hurin book signed by Alan Lee, I will be attending the event. Feel free to contact me - the book is available in the UK shops now in both normal and slipcased deluxe (retailing at £60!). I am hoping to be able to get both types signed presuming he is happy to sign a few copies for me....

Did you or anyone else attend the book signing by Alan Lee? If so please let us know how it went and if there was a good turn out. Thanks. :) I purchased a copy of the Children of Hurin from my local bookstore yesterday and started reading it today. I think Alan Lee did a great job once again with his artwork for the book. Does anyone know how to contact Alan Lee for commission artwork? : Re: Alan Lee signing : RichT April 24, 2007, 10:37:35 PM Hi,
Report on the signing.... the venue was a small hall in the depths of the Cotswolds, the turn out on the preview evening (Friday) was I guess around 60 - 100 people. There was work by 2 other artists (Ted Nasmith and Ruth Lacon) inspired by the stories of Tolkien. Alan Lee seemed like a fantastic gentleman, he was more than happy to sign books and even illustrated in my two deluxe copies for me. One was of an elf like lady ( based on a very attractive person who was there!) and the other was of the helmet from the cover of the book. Awesome! So I was very happy as I left. I did also hear that Alan Lee happily signed and illustrated a few books the next day also. Hope this gives a taste of the evening. If anyone wants to see the images please let me know and I will email them across to you. Best RichT : Re: Alan Lee signing : Roz April 25, 2007, 12:40:30 AM Thanks Rich - here are the pics:
