Many people know about dragonball z but not many people know about dragonball the prequel to dragonball z. In this box set you get the entire 16 volume series at a great price. Considering that each volume costs 7.99 not counting shipping and handling buying each one of the volumes would cost you almost twice as much as buying them all together here, not to mention of course that Amazon has discounted this item even further then the list price. The books themselves are held in a fairly good, sturdy cardboard box. On the outside of the box there is some pretty nice quality images on the outside. There is also a little piece of paper attached to the outside of the box that shows all the little pictures on the individual spines of the book in one long picture. The only thing about the box that irritates me is that you have to remove the cover by pulling apart the top parts of the box to open it and since you have to pull the top with a lot of fore, over time it causes the top part of the box to become bent. There is not much to say about the volumes themselves, it is dragonball in all of it's crude humor and fighting glory. The volumes are nice and high quality the whole outside of each book is laminated. Some other reviewers have mentioned the censorship but, compared with the normal volumes(the volumes sold individually) these volumes in this box set actually have less censorship. Lastly, the box set comes with a small "booklet" of info but it's so thin it's more like a phamphlet the anything else. It contains an interview and some other trivia and information abot dragonball. To make up for this however there is a nice poster of goku and company. All in all this box set is a great value if you don't own most of the volumes and it comes in a nice box to boot too!
