All three books as stated are first uk edition,first printings.I haven`t shown individual photos of the copyright pages but i guarantee they are firsts from 1992,1993 and 1996 all with the appropriate numberlines of 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.All the books are in near fine condition showing minimal signs of ownership and ever so slight handling wear.The dustjackets are all originals and all remain unclipped apart from Red Mars.All are again in near fine condition with a hint of handling wear.
So there we have it.A superb collectable set that will only ever increase in value past the good prices already asked.The cheapest full set i can find are listed at $1000 with Red mars alone fetching a couple of hundred pounds.No reserve and a silly start on this one so good luck and please take some time to browse my other items for many collectable firsts from the likes of Ian Fleming,A A Milne,Philip Pullman,J K Rowling,J D Salinger etc.
***Please be advised this is a heavy set so postage will be higher on this lot but will only be charged at cost,Thankyou***
