Only 10 times the going price! Jokes aside, that is predatory pricing if ever I saw it. There are two on Abe currently, one for $250 and one for $350.

Ridiculous prize on the nodens...Even the last one this same seller sold for 500 was way overprized.

This edition doesn’t show up too often. Great price.

This has been up for a few weeks now. The books themselves look ok but the box is quite tatty, which puts me off it.

Tragically damaged

My guess is that this set was one of 1000 sets signed in 1963 by the author on each title page

Would have been fantastic if that really happened, we could all get signed copies
