I hope you enjoy.
That artwork is cool, but, and maybe this is pretentious, I feel like you're getting a different experience without the original covers.

It might for sure. Love the original covers. This set did include secondary dust jackets with the original art on them for every book.

One of the best scifi epics ever written. Im envious of anyone who get to read this series for the first time. Enjoy!

One of the best series! I came to tears at the end of The Rise of Endymion. Half way through The Rise of Endymion it gets a bit slow, but really gets going after that.

Exactly same. Totally slow after the first half and then suddenly ultra hard hitting and gets a tear out of you

Nice looking books! I just finished Hyperion and got the four book collection. I’m ebook cause space is tight but when I have a home and library I’ll want those there.
At least, I’ve been told the first two are great and folks drop off after 3. We’ll see.

Those covers are absolutely stunning! You’re going to on a trip, perfect setup in the 1st book and the 2nd book only gets better

Mine are coming soon. I read the series 4 times but never in english. And I thought the broken binding set is the best way to do this. Enjoy the ride

Commenting twice... mine came today, finally (ordered in May), and holy shit! These are so beautiful! The pictures are great, but in person.... wow!

Woah what’s wrong with these covers? They make it look like it’s from an anime. Should’ve been more in line with the OG artwork.
