Hi Estelyn -

Sorry to hear that you have retired your paperback boxset. I have collected a few of the paperback boxsets over the years (including a like new green one - the first boxset from Ballantine) and have first printings of those versions. My reading copies are a set which are dog-eared, wormholed (literally), paint splattered (another story), and taped together (on the spines as the covers were falling off). I can't bear to part with them even though I have other newer and nicer printings of the books. They are like old leather, soft and supple. No matter what copy you read, enjoy!

Away from The Green Hill Country,

Parmastahir
