Buy Children of Hurin?
Some time ago, I saw a beautiful, glossy, harbound copy of CoH in a bookshop and having come upon some extra money, I'm wondering whether to buy it. I have reservations because I already know most of the story from the Silmarillion, UT and HoME. What I want to ask is, is it worth the buy?

If you're not seriously short of money, go for it. It's amazing to have all the story in one piece - it's totally different than reading pieces from here and there. But if you're unsure, you could always borrow it from a library and eye it first or just read the library's copy of it, provided that there's a good or even ok library system in there where you live.

Also, about 20-25% of the CoH text does not appear in the versions published previously
