Looks like they reprinted after a few years. Not interested myself but just giving you all a heads up.

$196 / 4 x $49.
Did the price go up? I feel like it was cheaper before.
Now I'm hoping they would reprint Myths of Greece & Rome by Guerber

You are right to be confused. I’ve collected all the EP and FS editions of Robin Hood, mostly for their beautiful art.
This particular Gilbert edition was issued twice in different formats. The first was a copy of the British edition of 1912 and contained 16 Walter Crane illustrations. The second was issued only a few months later, or maybe a year or two, and was a copy of the 1912 American edition. The American edition contained an extra chapter and one more illustration. I remember that it was more expensive than the British edition by quite a bit. The outer appearance is identical, so buyers on the secondary market would have no way of telling which one they are buying. In fact, most buyers and sellers probably don’t even know there were two editions.
Having already purchased the British edition, I refused to buy the American edition because it contained so little extra material, but that is apparently the one they are selling now (since it has 17 illustrations).
