I can haz Kiping!

My 32-volume Collected Works, which I believe is complete except perhaps for a very few Varia. Perfect condition except for one sun-faded volume, which I confess I photoshopped a bit here to make it less obvious.

A mad extravagance, the maddest thing I've done for a very long time. I told Roy it was my birthday present and my Christmas present.

Oh, yes! I bought a "collected works" set at auction many years ago -- either for $8 or $16, I think -- but it was collected in 1917, and Kipling died in 1937.
