HOWEVER, if you need a lot of the titles, there are three bundles that bring the prices down even more, and they are couponable too.

Books 1 - 7 $38.29
Books 1 - 8 $38.29 (duh!)
Books 1 - 9 $48.49

If you need/want all but the first one (which was free a while back), it turns out the best way to do it is to get the 1 - 8 bundle and then buy the 9th title as a stand-alone since it is only $8.09 by itself ($4.05 w/ coupon), but $10.20 ($5.10 w/ coupon) as the marginal title in the 9-book bundle.

With that strategy it works out to CAD$24 and change (depending on provincial tax), or about $3-and-a-bit each if you need 2 - 9. (Obviously a bit less per title if you didn't pick up the free one a while back...)

9th title (Art and Murder): https://store.kobobooks.com/en-ca/eb...t-and-murder-1

Wow Sufue I was totally taken with all your calcs and so decided to go ahead and get the Kobo CA (+ code) Box set.

I initially checked out Amazon AU to see what was what and discovered that the first 9 books of the series are AUD2.99 each and the 3 x sets of box sets (as described by you) are all way more than $27. (And Kobo CA worked out at $20 ish)

So, then I bought book 9 from Amazon AU$2.99 and I thought I was cookin' with gas ...... yeah ..... until I went to download it and realised that in the first part of 2015 I'd already bought the 8 book set from Kobo (another account), and I'd broken my golden rule and not looked in Calibre first!

So, now I've made a phone call to Kobo CS who think they'll be able to refund it, because I haven't downloaded it. But, they don't know if their 'system' will accept the refund request.

Oh my what a drongo I can be sometimes
