I used to have the butt-ugly British Omnibus editions, until I discovered how
terribly misprinted they are. For example, in
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, two chapters start with the same line, and I've found the same error in a later Ballantine edition (you had better check yours too!). I later sold them to a friend who is less picky than I am. But now I should perhaps get this edition, as a curiosity.
It's supposed to be about 950 pages, so there's certainly space for a lot of text. And IIRC, it's going to be both hc and tp, with a fake-leather-looking cover (much the same as the rather good-looking Conan omnibus that Gollancz put out a while back).
