Well worth the price
I bought this set through subscription when first announced and suffered through the torment of the initial publisher going belly up. The Heinlein Trust stepped in and completed the project in a viable form, including reprinting the first six volumes which had been previously published by the other company. This was a limited edition, numbered as such (mine is 97 I think). You will NEVER see this set as such in paperback. The Main reason being that except for the collected letters, the screenplays, and a (very) few odd nonfiction shorts, EVERYTHING Heinlein ever wrote is still available in print. He is one of a very few authors whose work has never yet gone out of print. If you look you should be able to find all his fiction and most nonfiction in paperback editions at retail prices. The first Heinlein I read was Red Planet. I was seven years old, by the time I was seventeen I was buying every new Heinlein in Hardcover as they came out. I still pick up used copies as I find them to give to friends, grandkids and others to introduce them to Heinlein. The website for the Virginia edition is still viable and a few copies of the original 2000 are still available. I think the set is worth it. If you don't ...as I said they books are all in print and you should be able to find them here on Amazon.
