Is anyone thinking of purchasing the Paths of Darkness Gift Set for anyone they know?

Yes, I usually buy a box set and give it to someone as a gift(who has read the other books in the series).

Nah, then I would have to buy one for myself... They are not really meant as collectors items, more to get people into a series, although as these are books 11-14 perhaps they should include something (a mini calendar of FR book covers or something to promote the setting) because if a person is willing to jump in so late in the series then he/she will buy just about anything. |

I will be buyimg the gift set to add to my collection. The problem with having something along with the gift set is that the gift set comes shrink-wrapped, so having something with it, would entail opening the shrink-wrap, and for collecting purposes, I don't open the shrink-wrap since I already own the paperbak and the hardcovers which I can read instead of having to open the gift set. |

I've purchased exactly one gift set from Wizards: I bought the Chronicles trilogy for a friend for Christmas, several years ago. He did not have any of the books, and was only interested in reading them if he got an entire trilogy at once. |

Ahhhh ill have to resist  I normally buy EVERYTHING to do with FR, but I draw the line with gift sets, I own the hardcovers of the individual novels as well as the hardcover collectors edition...I cant see any point in buying the gift set....as nice as it may look |

Yes, but these novels are in a slip-cover...

Not I. I've only got a couple of friends that would be interested in it, and I think they've already got all the paperbacks of those books. |
