No mention of a limitation in the book, although it has been speculated that George had 500 copies of each volume printed. I bought this volume years ago from L. W. Currey to go with my Volume One and I have no idea what I paid him for the book much less what price George set for the volume. The book is bound in Black cloth with gold stamping to the spine, just like Volume one. The dust jacket is a solid blue with black printing to the front panel and the spine. The rear panel and the flaps are blank. No mention of ISBN or price in or on the book. A set that no collector of older Fantasy Literature can afford to be without. The book seller that is selling off George's collection mentioned in a recent listing that they have multiple sets of the three volumes of Spectrum, as the books never sold out. Chalker and Owings lists the price of this volume at £60 or $100.00 and they mention that 500 copies were printed.
