Every copy has a different cover, some have drawings inside, I still can't afford a first edition set yet though.

I'll have to tell davem to tell you if he gets to hear of any more cheap sets on the grapevine, which is how he got his, from a private sale. They aren't an early impression, which is one way of getting a set a bit more cheaply - can't remember how much they were but it was less than £100. I've seen 2nd edition sets sell for a
lot more than that.
Anyway, shelves of books make good house insulation, so when bills soar this winter it will have been a good investment
