The Chronicles of Narnia Deluxe Hardcover Box Set comes with a slipcase with vibrant artwork featuring Aslan. As mentioned, this hardcover set launched in July with a fairly high $140 list price. The current $51.47 price is an all-time-low for the box set; it was selling for close to $80 last month.
You’ll miss out on the fancy metallic cover, decorative page edges, and foil-stamped case, but the Deluxe Hardcover Box Set is a better choice for kids and anyone who is concerned about the readability of the omnibus edition’s typeface.
The individual hardcover editions have similarly sized pages (6 x 9 inches), but together the seven novels are 1,668 pages–more than double the page count of the omnibus. If you compare the sample pages for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to the omnibus, you’ll notice the individual hardcovers in this box set use larger fonts.
HarperCollins also published a paperback version of the new box set, though it’s not much cheaper than the nicer hardcover collection.
If you opt for paperback copies, you should check out the Full-Color Collector’s Edition, which launched in May with alternate covers and color versions of the illustrations found throughout the series.
And for portable, pocket-sized editions, consider the mass market paperback box set, which was also published in May and is eligible for Amazon’s B2G1 promotion.
