Hello, yes i am new, my husband is an avid WoT fan, and our anniversary is coming up soon, i want to get him a boxed set of the existing books, preferably hardbound (since we already have the paperback ones) but it seems no matter where i go, i just cant find them, any idea where i can look? thank you so much, this will mean a lot to him.

The only boxed sets of Wheel of Time are in paperback.  There are 3 boxed sets.

1st boxed set is of books 1 through 3.

2nd is of books 4 through 6.

3rd is of books 7 through 9.

 

It seems rare for any boxed set to be in hardcover format.  And it seems rare for a series this size to be in one boxed set.

The two combined seems very rare.

Encyclopaedia sets seems the only thing that fit both.

 

Edit:: If there are complete hardcover boxed sets of this series, bookstores and/or libraries might know.

 

You might want to look around and see if there are any signed hardbacks or even leatherbound collectors editions on eBay. Sometimes they pop up there.

If you go on Craiglist for Phoenix, AZ some guy is selling books 1 - 10 for $75 (also comes with pb book 11).  They look to be in good shape.  (Perhaps this guy would ship them) These books aren't going to be cheap so that is a good deal and then you can probably find book 11 somewhere for a decent price.  As far as a technical "box set" the poster above is right, these are only paperback and come in sets of 3.
