Very nice. I have a smaller and more modern book called, The Voyage of the Beagle. Is that part of your book or just a different title for it now?

I think the original was 1845 (but based in text from the 1830s), and then the illustrated edition was 1890 (retitled as per my copy), which essentially what was then retitled again and became The Voyage of the Beagle. This copy has been in my family for years (was given to my late Dad by his first boss), but my mum was recently getting rid of stuff and sent to me.

Very happy to have gotten this set in decent condition.

Those Remington covers weren't used very much. I've only seen them on one translation, a 1999-2001 Romanian one:

Interesting to see that they have been re-used though and relatively recently.

Another set to sit with inlaws in the UK for an undetermined amount of time... Small damage to slipcase top/corner, but otherwise decent with no inscriptions, etc.

Awesome Stu, one of my favorite sets as well. They're pretty snug in the case, which leads to a lot of the cases having damage of some sort...the case on this looks in great shape.

Yeah, I'll almost certainly safely store the slipcase and make an accurate reproduction for shelving the books with. I primarily bought this set because of the decent slipcase, given so many are missing these days. Price wasn't terrible by current bubble standards, either.

They look really nice, I have a clamshell case for mine that David Miller made that protects the 'flimsy' slipcase.

Yeah, I'll definitely consider one of those. I'd possibly get him to produce it without the art and then add the art myself, probably printed on canvas -- but irrespective of the medium, I'd want to restore the imagery, I think

I'm glad I could aquire that set long before this bubble in decent shape.

Laurin Your set looks very nice indeed.

I should have bought the boxed set long ago (I actually have individual copies of RotK and TT that I picked up for next to nothing, but never found a Fellowship, though perhaps I will one day). I paid pretty much £1000 on the nose for the set I just bought, which in bubble-economy terms seemed OK (in the sense that I could sell them without losing anything/much pretty easily, I think).
