That does help me, thank you John.  Do you know anything about the 
box set being available with 'special editions'?  The regular box set 
sells for 48 pounds, and the 'special edition' goes for 85 pounds.  
When I search for "Harry Potter" at BookBrain, box sets come up as 
the second and third items, both described as 'cloth' bound.  (The 
first is the less expensive, the second the more expensive.)  When I 
click on either one, then go to the sites that come up, the 
description is then Hardback.  I'm quite confused.  And, from your 
description, I know I would like cloth bound better as well.  The 
best price I've found with shipping to the states included, is at 
History Bookshop.  Suppose I'll email them about the cloth vs. 
hardcover question...

Thanks again for your reply, John.
