Those are pretty!! I've never seen these printings before!
EDIT - Amazon link for those interesting in owning their own
Long Walk is in the Backman Books and I actually have Dolores Claiborne but I was about to get rid of it because I heard it wasn’t great. I’ll have to keep that one then, thanks! The Dark Tower set is right here . It’s only $75 for a limited time before it goes back up to $150.Go to my account and I’ll post pictures of the books and the box itself (that’s the only way I can think of to do it because I don’t know how to use imgur sorry). Here’s the link to the Amazon account. The books themselves seem to stay in nice condition.
Having only seen the show for The Witcher (don’t have funds for the books yet!) and only a vague plot synopsis of American Gods, I’m gonna throw out the book series I’ve been consumed by for the last year: The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Yes, as in “that horror guy.” It’s different than anything else he’s written by a long shot. It’s a dark fantasy/Western/dystopian sci-fi hybrid. The main character is essentially John Wayne meets King Arthur, which is also a pretty good plot synopsis. Very unpredictable in a good way, with a (personally) super satisfying ending. Whole series can be bought here:
A warning, though: the first book is not very representative of the series as a whole. It’s more of a prologue to the main story. The pacing shifts from the first to the second book, with the first being more about setting up the world and atmosphere for the series. In other words, power through the first book and onto the second. If the second doesn’t hook you by the end of part 1, feel free to give up, since it may not be for you.
Another note: Stephen King has tied the series into a number of his works. I don’t know your tastes regarding horror, but the only ones that I would consider essential are Salem’s Lot and Insomnia. Insomnia’s more of a thriller and not as necessary as Salem’s Lot. (A character from SL appears in Dark Tower, which is why it’s pretty essential.) Both should probably be read between books 4 and 5. The midquel, Wind through the Keyhole, that King wrote after the series could be skipped and saved for later or read between Insomnia and Salem’s Lot. I have a more extended list I can comment if you’re interested.
As for a matching set, there was a paperback boxed set released.

As for hard cover, you'd have to buy them individually and they don't really run together well as they have varying art styles. Not to mention that finding a good hardcover of The Gunslinger will be quite costly.
Got it off amazon! Here's a link for ya!!

On AbeBooks.com I was able to cobble together the whole series for about 25 bucks. The trick is to find one of the bigger sellers and get them all from the same place to save on shipping.
Alternately why not just buy the regular box set? It's $74.99 new on Amazon right now and Google says 60 pounds is about $79.45
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1501163566/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_NLQfFbVWFNGMR I think this is the one
The Dark Tower by Stephen King is a western-style fantasy series, with significant portal story arcs.

Those are the new ones you're referring to I think so £20 cheaper than you've said.
Can get the old box set brand new from lots of sellers on eBay for about £44.

The whole series is dope, and each book is pretty different.
Congrats! I got a similar box set for Christmas, but with different covers. I think I like yours better. The box my set is in matches yours just not the covers.
Here is my set on Amazon
Oh, it's from the Boxed Set.
Yeah, not too big on it either, but I really wanted a matching set.
