My memory (mostly from 3E) is that they’re nice books. Thick with content, well organized and indexed, mostly great full-color illustrations printed on glossy paper, non-embarassing page layout and typography, decent binding and hardcover, made to last. In short, well worth it as a book object if you care about such things.
And I really liked the 3E cover designs too, made to look like actual stylized magical tomes from fantasy. Photographed from real sculpted and painted bits and bobs, too, as opposed to CGI or pure Photoshop. Not the most classic D&D covers, but to me the most classy.

Exactly. People forget about inflation. $9.95 in 1978 would be about $35 today, more than what Amazon is selling the new version for. Back then, pretty much everybody had to pay list price for books…
