Judy already answered, I see, but there are perfectly good reasons why we have three sets: hers is an early edition which would be worth a fortune if it were in better nick and, as it is, would fetch a few hundred in the right marketplace (ie: not eBay), which, once I realised it, I forbade her to read it any more. Mine's a three-volume paperback set from the late 70s, which is similarly not without some collectable value. So we bought a cheap boxed set when the movies came out. Aside from all else, it has some amendments to the appendices that aren't in either of our editions and oh my god, how nerdy is it that I checked that out ...?
