There are several covers to these books. I started reading the first book (Outlander) that I picked up at a half priced book store. However, the book was "small"-ish. It didn't want to stay open in my hands. The font was too small to read comfortably without my reading glasses. Add to that, I didn't love the cover art with the actors on it - no offense intended, I just like clean book covers. After reading half-way through the first novel with this used copy, I decided that I was "all in", and looked to see what a set would cost. This full set is highly economical compared to purchasing each book one at a time. The covers have a flow to them so that it looks like a set rather than an eclectic hodge-lodge of acquired books. Usually, that doesn't bother me, but I have a suspicion that these are going to become a treasure on my shelf. The covers shown here are pretty true to form - intense blues, greens, and reds. The pages are a brighter white than the smaller book.
NOTE: What is really interesting, is that I took a picture of what I thought was the same passage - and there are differences in the passage. "Lunch" vs "Dinner", "Supper vs Dinner". "Lowlands vs Border". So apparently, it's more than a face uplift here - this is a full on edition difference. I don't even know which one is closer to the original, or if my version has a different editor altogether.
Pros:
- Whiter pages
- Larger font, but not too much larger.
- Easy to hold open
- Vibrant colors
Cons:
- Edition change? I'd like to know which was better.

Better book design, but is this an updated edition? Different words used throughout.

The books are not too small, they are almost 8x5. And the covers are beautiful! I'm looking forward to reading them all!

Ordered the 8 hardcover books and it came with 9. The outlandish companion was included. Glad I decided to wait to order the rest of the series!
