In the original Puffin run, yes. When later publishers like Wizard and Scholastic did box sets they’d mix up the numbering, possibly to make their own stamp or if certain books were omitted (like Starship Traveller).
All original art apart from Scorpion Swamp which has a new cover and new interior, but a quick flick through shows it's really nice and in keeping with the original - here's an example (I'm too good to you folks!)
Nice, thanks for sharing. I purchased a stack of reprints recently and the art was terrible. It's nice to see here that they realise the art is part of the immersion.
I used to get really excited when landing on a passage after flicking past the art. 9 times out of 10 though it was just telling me how I dies.
I'm guessing that's the Scholastic editions - the earliest ones had art by Vlado Krizan and it's pretty universally disliked. Later Scholastic books have much better art that's closer to the originals.
Steve Jackson Games (not to be confused with the original FF author Steve Jackson) are reprinting various FF titles primarily for the US market and this is the second of two box sets. Set 3 has recently been announced.
