my favorite is the reviewer who said he bought it even though he'd read every single book in the collection, didn't like the covers, and gave them to the library.
Unlike other reviewers, I actually bought this collection. There was no need since I had read every single book in the collection, but I thought it would be nice to have them all from the same publisher with a continuity of cover art. Unfortunately, when they arrived I found, to my utter astonishment, that the covers were not at all of the same design. Some of the cover art appeared to not have been updated since at least the late 70's and others appeared as if they had just been sent back fresh from the design department. I was extremely disappointed and sent the whole lot to the library, where I am sure no one will check out the older looking volumes out of sheer stupidity.
And if you believe that, have I got a deal for you! WTF.
