4.0 out of 5 stars Good and sober with just some negative details , 25 Dec 2007
By Samuel Silva (Telheiro, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well, many have written about the stories of each book and if you are thinking in buying a boxed set you have probably read all that. So, I will just keep to this particular boxed set as an all.

The look of the boxed set as you can see it on the picture is quite close to what you get in reality. The books and case, being mostly black, give a very sober aspect to the set. The binding is reasonable. I still did not read The Order of the Phoenix (the largest volume) so I cannot say surely that it will handle the reading, but it seems it will.

As another reviewer pointed out the pages have very narrow margins which means they are a bit crowded with text. This influences negatively our first impression of the books. Nevertheless, as the stories are fast paced one tends to forget this issue. On the other hand having larger margins would surely mean breaking some of the largest volumes in two (or three) to keep them at reasonable dimensions.

The paper used is also of reasonable quality, yielding a nice flexibility and resistance. It would ease the reading if it was softer (a bit like Bible paper) as the books cannot be left open in any page.

All books have black dust jackets with Harry Potter written in embossed gold letters. Below the dust jackets there are plain black covers with gold lettering on the spine.

But, apart from the notes I left above, one must not forget the price one pays for this set. So the options taken regarding margin size, binding and paper quality are, I think, a compromise to attain such a reasonable price. And I would rate it as 5 stars. So, why am I giving 4?

The 4 stars are due to some details which I find could have been taken into account without interfering with the production costs.

If you look to the boxed set picture you will notice that the first four books have vertical lettering on the spine and the last three have horizontal lettering. This looks a bit weird. Why should anyone think in doing the lettering different after the fourth book?. Specially if they had to reduce the horizontal lettering sizes depending of the size of the book? This annoys me quite a bit. Why not stick with the first idea?

The second issue which I think could have been better looked at is the size of the case. Well, the books are neatly packaged inside, very securely. The problem is how to take them out to read!! As all the books are tightly together and because they fully reside inside the case one cannot easily put a finger on each side or even on the top to take them out. Books 1 and 7 are the hardest. So I keep them slightly out of the case to manage to take them to read which in general means I have to push the case a bit from the shelf...

So, for these two issues which I think could have been properly dealt with I give this set 4 stars. Apart from them this is a very nice set to read this great set of stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome set, 27 May 2008
By Alexandru Baicoana (Romania, Bucharest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read all books in Romanian, and have them all. When I saw this original English set, however, I was totally hooked. The set is great, the cover designs are lovely, better than those for the kid's version, and the box (made of cardboard) completes this set nicely. The binding is good, and the paper is of good quality. The price seems fair to me, too. I paid for this set more than 130 pounds, so the 70 pounds on this offer is really a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the UK versions, 21 Jan 2008
By Sherry (Michigan) - See all my reviews
I have been ordering the UK versions as each one has come out. I like having the original British language as it was written instead of the "Americanized" versions. Sometimes it loses something in the "translation".
