Hardcover Illustrated edition of bestsellers

I noticed that there’s this current trend of re-releasing bestselling books in hardcover, illustrated editions. 2 that I own are ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Holy Blood, Holy Grail’.

‘Angels & Demons’ is also available in such an edition and last weekend I saw a beautiful edition of ‘Salem’s Lot’.

Does anybody else own any one of these? Do these editions make reading them even more of a pleasure the 2nd time around? Any other titles available in such editions?

I have the Lord of The Rings illustrated hardcover box set, and love them. Gorgeous illustrations throughout, really quality stuff.

I got an email from a publicist at Penguin yesterday on this topic. They're doing a couple new illustrated versions of classic novels:

The Illustrated Dracula
By: Bram Stoker
Illustrations by: Jae Lee

THE ILLUSTRATED JANE EYRE
By: Charlotte Bronte
Illustration by: Dame Darcy

Not my bag, but some people enjoy 'em.
