Just putting this here as another example - a listing for fourth impressions (1976) - note that the spine design is different than @laurin666's set (nothing wrong with either, just noting the difference)

That's what my set looks like

[Edit: On second glance - not identical - copyright & title page identical but spines of DJ's different - and different to Laurin's also with author name at base of spine]

Pic attached.

Other than the books themselves, does anyone have any evidence that any of these copies are official or not?

From Hammond's Bibliography, p. 138 "In 1972 A5e was reprinted by Bookcase Shop, Taipei, under license by George Allen & Unwin, in three volumes."

I find it interesting that Bookcase Shop decided to use the Houghton Mifflin style dustjacket though - I wonder if they also licensed that, which GA&U might not have had the rights to?

I suppose what I really meant was: I wonder if Wayne read anything in the archives (or elsewhere) when mkaing that statement.

I'll make my mind and look into my records how much I've paid for the books. I will send you a PN.
