I have a full set of first editions, some of which are even signed, I never got organised to get PTerry to sign the rest, but I would still love these as well.
There is something special about having a proper matching set. I have re purchased lots of my Tolkien collection to do this over the years.
Did the book size change with the non-Kidby covers?
Book sizes are all over the place, the first few books are smaller than the Kidby covers, which are smaller than the later covers. Also the printing style of the covers doesn't even remotely go together.
I like how on the top shelf you can see where they transitioned to having his name bigger than the title.
Yeah it was pretty wild when he started getting popular, then when he got massive how that impacted the marketing of his books.
