$7000 for over 1000 books is a good price. That would be a nice way to start a library. There were quite a few books in there that are must reads.

If nothing else, the Complete Collection has entertained Amazon's customer reviewers, such as the one who noted that "I would easily and gladly send for them this minute, thrill at doing so, eagerly await their arrival, only to be shot dead by my wife when she found out I'd ordered them." At the risk of spousal gunfire, our first question was, inevitably, "How much does this cost to ship?" And so Jace walked the collection through the checkout process, clicking extremely carefully -- this ain't the time to buy something via 1-click ordering. When you're pretending to buy $8,000 worth of books, the landmarks of Amazon's checkout process can be amusing: You can't get this item gift-wrapped (rats!), but you can knock the price down to $7,959.99 if you sign up for the Amazon Visa card. And while the collection isn't available for free super-saver shipping, the shipping price turns out to be a beyond-reasonable $3.99.

Hmmm... I wouldn't like this. Not if it was for my personal collection. Unless I already own loads of books or if I was rich and wanted this just to have the complete collection, I think I'd rather pick my books one my one, get the ones I find interesting, etc. Seems to me this takes away from the buying a book experience that I quite like. Good price for what it is, though I suspect only about half of the books would interest me anyway...
