Beautiful books but very poor packaging. The design and finish are great, and make a fantastic addition to the bookshelves of any collector and fan of The Expanse series. You'll be lucky if your book arrives in the condition you'd expect if buying in a shop, though. I ordered the set of 3, and all arrived with dings, creases and black marks on the coloured page edges. I contacted support with evidence of the wear and comments on the packaging. To their credit, they were quick to dispatch another set. However, if anything, the new set was far worse than the first! Sadly, it seems that books from Orbit, despite being marketed as collectable, and with a collectable price tag, don't receive any meaningful protection when it comes to getting them from the publisher to your bookshelf. They could learn a thing or two from The Folio Society, whose packaging is on an entirely different level. Not sure how to obtain these books clean and undamaged. Disappointed.

Books look great. Different enough to qualify as collectibles. Only gripe is packaging left one book free to move resulting in slight damage to dust jacket.
