The retail price on most of this deluxe editions is 75 pound. I think the initial, retailer price should be 50 pound. For the most part (there have been some exceptions since they started these in 04/05) all these deluxe editions are a slipcase, a frontispiece (of the image usually associated with the cover of the standard edition) slightly better paper (is it acid free?) and a silk ribbon marker. And it's paper/cardboard, not leather or even faux leather like HarperCollin's deluxe editions from the 90s. So if you get the standard hardback of one of these titles - generally speaking - you get all the content, though in a different format.



To me, while I see the appeal, I personally don't think these deluxes are worth it, when the standard hardback editions offer pretty much the same thing.
