New York et al.: Various, 1987 - 2018. First edition -- unless otherwise noted -- of each of the 39 volumes, 24 of which are SIGNED BY BURKE. Covers 17 titles in total with, in some cases, a signed limited edition, first UK edition, and/or advance reading copy provided in addition to the first edition. Please note that in the case of his first 2 books, later special signed limited editions are provided in place of the true first editions, and for his 3rd book, only the first UK edition is provided.
A few volumes show minor wear but altogether the entire collection is in near fine to fine condition and makes for a great starting point.
