Boxed sets

Do they still do these?

Actually in a box?

It was my dream present as a child/teen

I had a Narnia one and inherited a PG Wodehouse from my Nanna.

Yes, box sets could be really exciting. I used to buy them from TheBookPeople. You can still find them in the Works sometimes, particularly box sets of some series aimed at kids/teenagers. I've also bought some secondhand.

There are also Kindle "box sets" - many are of very forgotten/obscure books but occasionally I find something I want that is on offer.

Postscript, www.psbooks.co.uk, have some, both for adults and children. Brand new stock, heavily discounted and come very well-packaged.

I know what you mean. I've still got my Narnia boxset. I'd love a boxset of P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves books, and also the Blandings novels.

I could imagine a boxset of Jane Austen or Virginia Woolf, since they didn't write that much, and their novels were fairly short. I guess you could also do a boxset of the Brontes, if you stuck to the major works (Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre etc). Others, like Dickens, would be too big. Actually, I think I've seen a boxset of Thomas Hardy books.

Be lovely if more were available; I don't know why really. Just a pleasing sense of expectation. Smile

Oh gosh, I was thinking of these. In my late teens I used to get box sets of Penguin modern classics at the book shop in Salts Mill. I remember one of them had an Anais Nin book in.
