What is Reddit's opinion of His Dark Materials 3-Book Paperback Boxed Set: The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

IDK what you're looking at but I'm seeing ~$22USD for the trilogy on Amazon.

But yes, it should be available at any large bookstore or library.

This was in the Yearling box set edition of The Subtle Knife. It doesn't seem to be included in earlier editions of the appendices. It reads:

>Elaine and the boy
>
>The biggest wrench, the greatest sorrow, the most desperate hope, the deepest guilt. I could have made Paradisi cut through in to my own world, and gone home. But we find ourselves pitched into great battles not of our own making, and we cannot turn aside. I must go on. I shall never see my son grow up, never look at his face and feel pride and joy, never see him becoming the man I wish him to be. I could have gone back to them, but then I would not have been the man my son would wish me to be. ~~Neither of us will be ever~~ What must be must be. As for Elaine, ~~the dearest joy~~ ~~there is nothing~~ ~~Elaine cannot begin to~~ I cannot speak.

Can anyone who owns the entire set in this edition confirm whether there's additional material in the other books, too? Here are the full appendices as I transcribed them from an earlier edition.
