Geoff:
Bloomsbury, the UK publishers, actually produce three versions. 
Amazon list two - the so-called Children's Edition and the Adult 
Edition. These are in fact identical, down to thepage numbering 
and text on each page.

I then in fact discovered teh De Luxe editions and for the last 
few issues have first bought an Adult editino and then the De 
Luxe edition for my bookshelf.They are rather nice - an amalgam 
for the two previous and without a dust jacket.

If you like to follow the link below, I have posted a photo of my 
set of De Luxe editions - they are a good deal more expensive but 
a nice addition to my HP/LOTR bookshelf.
