If anyone buys this set, can you post some photos, very interested in differences from the original release.

Mine dispatched a few days ago direct from HarperCollins.

Will post some photos when they arrive.

They only worked out at 8.66 Sterling each after the 40 percent discount and 15 percent Cashback.

Books arrived today. Apologies - old set still in shrinkwrap - so no pics of direct comparison of front & rear covers.

New Books (Paper Over Boards) - Slightly smaller in height. Text Colour on Spine slightly different on all 3. Boards colour of ROTK different (Blue rather than green).

I have added my picture of the 2013 covers with remy's picture to give a cover comparision.

If this comes out in a box-set then I will probably get a copy.

What matters to me more than the fabric covering the boards, whether actual cloth or something else, is the binding, i.e. sewn signatures or perfect binding, and the quality of the paper.
