Very cool editions, I considered both of them when I bought my copies recently. I bought mine around the holidays because I had a strong desire to re-read them (haven't since high school) and there were good deals. I'm on 'The Two Towers' at the moment. It's just incredible how thorough and detailed Tolkien was in his world-building and geography..it really feels complete and rich in ways that other fantasy series' can't match.
Marquette University, about an hour from where I live, actually has a lot of Tolkien's original manuscripts for LOTR and some of his other projects. The curator for that university inquired about them and got his hands on them before the series blew up and became as popular as it is. They do public showings a few times a year, capped at only 25 people, so you have to sign up well in advance. (They're filled up until January 2020 at the moment.) I'm going next month and I'm pretty damn excited.
