Thanks for the info, Jeremy! I’m still waiting for my copy. Things take their time to arrive from the US.

I just got the “Interviews” book earlier this week, though — it had been travelling for more than a month! Will post a review in the coming days.

Finally after some mishaps I received this box set. Its my first purchase of the eclipse series, and I am rather please, the set is nice but simple and as expected included no extras (booklet, dvd bonuses, etc)
I spare the a review since others have provided some, but I’ll say the transfer is nice with only a few forgivable flaws and subtitling was just fine by me.
Obviously its no match for Criterion’s recent work, but I am thankful they decided to release rare movies partial reworked, its better then nothing, and far better then whats out there.
It clear Criterion still gave an admirable effort.

BTW Each movie is in a clear skinny case, with a short essay printed on the backside of the sleeve, which is visible from inside the case. All movies are stored in a simple cardboard holder, very simple, but still nice.

For those on a budget, DVDplanet.com has it for $39.95, good company, I bought about 100 DVDs from them with no issues.

At any price its really a must buy

I should be getting my copy in soon, cant wait.
