Is it worth buying? I'm not really familiar with Hemingway's work beyond the major novels which I haven't read yet. I have read some of his prose and I do like his style. I might buy the novels individually. I really like the new covers from Simon & Schuster.
I've only read A Farewell to Arms, and A Moveable Feast, but my golly they were good. I'd think that the Kobo editions with a 75% off coupon (or the odd 90% coupon) would be well worth it. (In fact I'm going to look into this myself now that you've mentioned it.

PS have you looked at India's prices? They may be even better value.
