It appears that the date is actually copyright 1987. What I am referring to is the edition of three books collected into on edition, along with a new introduction, box, illustrations, ribbon, etc, for this special edition. Hence, the new copyright.
I do remember that my copy is published my Houghton Mifflin.
Here's a description of the book, one which I just located:
Book Description: Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1987. Hard Cover in a Slipcase. Book Condition: Very Good. First Thus. 8vo. 423, 352, 440 pp. All three titles in a single volume but paginated individually, the titles and the page numbers in red. Red leatherette boards stamped with a jewel-pattern in gilt and blue on the front, spine, and back. Fold-out map in the back; marbled endpapers. Plain red leatherette slipcase. Price: US$ 395.00

That looks like the edition I bought in the 70s for $40.
