5.0 out of 5 stars (Paperback Version)Exactly how I remember them can't beat that original art
By Bryanxy3 on August 28, 2018
I was sceptical about purchasing this item after reading countless reviews of people recieving the reprint which had updated, bland art, but it I looked at the dates of the reviews from 2016 as opposed to reviews from 2018 and the reviews from 2018 showed that people were now recieving the books that had the original art as opposed to 2016 where people were getting the updated version. From a customer perspective it was very confusing deciding which reviews to trust because one says that the books do not include the original art and some say do have them. After deciding to purchase the item regardless I was very relieved to see the beloved books I used to love reading. In conclusion people recieved the updated art a couple years ago and left bad reviews because of that, but it seems that whoever is responsible for selling these books responded to the backlash and began selling the books with the original art that we know and love from our chilhoods.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the books I remember...
By Alysa O. on August 23, 2017
These are NOT the original drawings. The drawings or illustrations were half the fun! They were often scarier than the stories themselves. This sucks.

Picture one is what I got, picture two is what it used to be. Please warn people that this is not the original artist and show a sampling of the inside of the books. I gather that's why it's not advertised, though. Some people like me wouldn't have spent (wasted) the money on it if they had known the original artist wasn't used.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ORIGINAL ART IS BACK!!!
By Ramses Salazar on August 22, 2017
THE ORIGINAL ART IS BACK!!! I ordered this collection without reading the reviews (big mistake) so, when I saw that everybody was complaining about the books NOT having the original art I was so disappointed, but it was too late to cancel so I decided to return them in arrival, but to my surprise I happily realized that the collection they sent includes the original art that everybody loves!!! So don't hesitate, buy it, it's worth it. Beautiful books, beautiful art, total satisfaction 😊

3.0 out of 5 stars Black covered book was not what I expected...
By Jessica on July 30, 2019
I was SO excited to get this book and share it with my kids. I'm disappointed there wasn't a "book cover" with the artwork like the product picture I saw prior to ordering, or a "built in" bookmark ribbon which was another reason I ordered the hardcover version. I probably should have just ordered the paperback and saved about $10.
