First Edition. The Ensign's Prize Court: Recovered Pirate's Booty, The Heinlein Society, 2007, first edition thus, #3/29 such sets, with SIGNED (by Heinlein Society President David M. Silver) limited edition pages detailing the history of this production. Contents include the following 8 titles: The Green Hills of Earth, Stranger in a Strange Land, Ordeal in Space, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long, Sixth Column, The Menace from Earth, Methuselah's Children & Life Line, all issued without dust-wrappers. Of particular importance are Ordeal in Space, Life Line & The Notebooks of Lazarus Long. The former two are first hard-cover editions with these titles and these exact contents. The Notebooks of Lazarus Long appears to have been produced in a very small print run and this is the first and only hard-cover edition. (While several of these volumes denote a limitation number for the copies produced, all of these titles are piracies and thus one must assume that these print run numbers are spurious. While I have seen, purchased and sold several of these individual pirated titles long before 2007, I have never noted or seen a copy of the hard-cover edition of The Notebooks of Lazarus Long up close and personal nor have I seen one offered for sale anywhere in any store nor catalog).
