    The Dickens set originally belonged to my Grandfather and he passed them to my Dad. My Dad gave them to me about a year ago. Dad said he had researched them on the internet and every set he saw seemed to be missing a few of the books that my set has. I seem to recall that he said they were from the 1930's, 1936 if I recall correctly. I have 16 books in the set but all the sets my Dad found on the internet I think he said only had 13 books.

    Doing a quick search myself I did just find these:

    http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/181537847403?_mwBanner=1

    http://m.preloved.co.uk/m/showadvert...ete-works.html

    http://www.justanswer.com/antiques/6...ens-books.html


    Kind of blows my Dad's research out. Apparently there are 16 in the set and they are circa 1950 if the preloved ad is correct. Then it appears there was a similar set with blue boards.

    Some info on the publisher:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haze...tson_and_Viney

    Seems they are not particularly scarce or valuable. No matter though, still a nice set to own and the sentimental value in my set means more that any monetary value.
    Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!

    (Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)

    Fantastic! I bought a 20 volume set a few years ago that I love. They were printed in 1936, I believe. They are only worth a few dollars each but I still love the look of the set on my dresser.

    I'm a big fan of his historical fiction. I started with the Century trilogy, then read Pillars of the Earth which was incredible. One of the best books I've read. And just today actually, I finished World Without End. I hear he's writing a 3rd book in this series.

    Thanks everyone. What can I say. I love books in all their forms and the more the better. Never can have enough books.

    The Neverending Story is this one :

    http://geekifyinc.com/product/leathe...ng-story-book/

    My husband got it for me along with an Auryn necklace/medallion as a Christmas present 2 Christmas's ago. He got me 152 books (most of what you see on the shelves in the photos then for my Birthday he got me the custom bookshelves. Took me a long time to open all my presents that Christmas but it was certainly a good one!
    Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!
