I love this set!! Was hesitant to buy someth...ing described as having 'children's appeal' but the price was so good I took a chance and glad I did. The case is nice and the covers are bright and cheerful. For adults who prefer a more subdued look, without the dust jacket the books have gold tone highlights. The paper is an off white rather than harsh white. I love this set and a return to reading them was long overdue. One tip, the fit is a bit snug so if you take one book out and have a ribbon to use as a pull start, it will be much easier to access them without damaging the spine. At this price and with such care taken in the shipping I give this a high rating.

I absolutely love this box-set edition. Not only is the box... unbelievably beautiful with the gilded dragon and cupboard-like doors, but the books inside are just stunning, as well. The only issue I have is that I'm worried every time I take a book out, I run the risk of damaging the dustcovers somehow, because there's no extra room to reach in and grab them. But it's just a matter of me being careful, and I'm very happy I finally have this edition <3

I was a b...it disappointed that the cover underneath is not the same as the dust jacket. It is just a plain colour with some stars?! Just be aware that the lovely artwork from Jonny Duddle is only on the dust jacket.

Got this as a much belated 12 the birthday present ...for my son whose now in his 30's I know he will love and treasure them and pass them onto his kids,the dust jackets are lovely, with the wax lettering on them I am going too get him too have them insured, against it a lot of things, for the figure he thinks it should be.
