Thoreau, Riverside Pocket Edition

I recently picked up a set of Thoreau in the Riverside Pocket Edition
from the local Salvation Army store - all 11 vols for the princely sum
of $2! They're in good nick, though the leather has perished quite
badly on the spines of the two of the vols. According to an online
Thoreau bibliography the pocket edition was published in 1915, though
the volumes themselves give earlier dates (presumably of the first
Riverside Edition). Does anyone know the value/rarity of the pocket
edition? I've searched on abebooks but can't find any pocket editions
listed.

The value of the complete set of these editions (that carry the date of the
late 1800s) seems to range from $2000 - $5000.
I'd say you got yourself quite a bang for the two bucks!

James,

Have you seen this online appraisal of a set?
