The box is 22 inches by 16 inches by 6 inches and weighs 9 pounds and 10 ounces. It is for one set (20 issues). I reckon the heavy weight is partly due to the experiment gadgets or gifts.

Hi KL,

Yes, just 5 pounds on top of the book cost for shipping. So cheap!!

I know a lot of sellers are not willing to send by 2nd class mail or surface mail. May I have the seller name so that I can check if he carries the other goodies that I am looking for?

Some cases for your reference, supporting why I said the shipping cost of your case is so cheap. I bought 2 HS handbooks separately. The 2 sellers charged me 2.5 pound and 3 pound for just a 200g handbook.

KL,

Paddyfield px is also v cheap by HK standards for Horr books !

In both 3-luen and Popular HK, all the Horr books are ~$85. A few may be $75, 79.9, 80, but most are $85.
No matter whether they are old or new version, all are marked 4.99 pounds, but may have slightly diff HK px.

New version = a few more pages of quizzes at the end of the book, maybe a glossary a-z.

But doesn't matter to me cos piglet never does the quizzes anyway.

And cover looks newer in design, and old version is printed by a subsid of Scholastic whereas new version is published by Scholastic.

All small details.

KL,

No ah.
I had the same Q about the books, so I decided to hit book nail in Popular one day, to find the difference ja.

Now that you've mentioned that website,
I found soooooo many diff versions / titles of Horrible books, and its become vvvvv confusing.

Sooooo many books, if buy all then triple broke !

My Q is, can we (all 3 of us) find 1 seller who sells everything, and ships at a cheap enough rate, so we can order everything from that source in 1 go ?

Even for DVDs, there are sooooo many diff titles !
And not conveniently listed, no complete list of books under any one series.
