Is EP going green ;P?

> It may just be me, but recently EP seems to have been using a lot of green/aqua leather. At least two mock up volumes in their website were changed from brown or orange to green/aqua. Having re-released Anne of Green Gables set and a few Tolkien titles, should EP's bindery have green/aqua in abundance, which titles or sets would you be interested in?

a) More Tolkien titles including reprints of The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun and 4-Vol History of Middle-Earth
b) Treasury of Irish Folk Tales, Myths, and Legends in 4-Vols
c) Myths of the Ancient World in 10-Vols
d) James Herriot Classics in 5-Vols, which despite the catalog announcement I believe were never published and could be a nice companion to a recent quite pleasant remake by Channel 5/PBS TV series of All Creatures Great and Small
e) Turning Points of World War II in 6-Vols or other History or Military History title/set
f) Works of Shakespeare 3-Vol DLE (another print run)
g) Leatherstocking Tales in 5-Vols (Brock illustrated)
h) Other(s) - to be discussed below (due to a recent publication of Tarzan's First Three Novels, I doubt EP would choose to simultaneously reprint their Tarzan of the Apes 6-Vol set...)

Apart from the Leatherstocking Tales The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun is back:

EP must have run out of ideas for what they could use green leather as they have decided to give us another signed Left Hand of Darkness ():

There were signed Masterpieces of Science Fiction editions, there is the 1200 limitation signed DLE and now the above... How many signature pages did Ursula sign :D?

>3 EPsonNY: But I am still so happy to have her signature on my old MSF copy of LHoD!
:)
Le Guin is still one of my favorite authors.

>4 Neil_Luvs_Books: These were the days when a short novel or novella was likely to get a more appealing treatment in smaller format instead of being bloated into the DLE size. I guess once EP started reproducing the original sizes, it decided to stick with similar oversized dimensions for a lot of books that do not really need it (cost savings?), which makes some of them feel like children's books and quite uncomfortable to handle...

My preference is for the LHoD in light blue leather over red/pink/dark blue :D. It does make me wonder what happened to the original embossed designs that were used on the covers of MSF volumes...
