The whole set is very hard to find on-line from sources outside South Korea, so I was happy to purchase what was advertised on ebay as the 6-volume set from thriftbooks.  I was disappointed to receive only Volume 5.  After contacting thriftbooks they explained that a single ISBN number covers all six volumes, but they didn't notice the error when they listed the book on ebay.  They refunded my money, but said not to bother returning the volume.  I began the search to find Volumes 1-4 and 6.  I was able to quickly locate Volumes 1-3 from a single seller on ebay (davidsmattie1).  After working with a Korean speaker at my university, Jung-Ae Choi, I found a set in South Korea, but the website prohibited anyone without South Korean financial or identification connections from making purchases.  I then contacted Hanbooks in Los Angeles, a bookseller from whom I had purchased Korean A, and they ordered a used set from  South Korea and then sold it and shipped it to me.  This completed the set (with some acceptable duplicates).

Each of the volumes in this set comprises one of the original Books of LOTR.

The address label on the package began with "John McLaughlin 71463" so when a tired USPS sorter picked this up at the end of his shift in the distribution center in Salt Lake City, they saw "71463" and sent it on its way to Oakdale, Louisiana.  When it reached the Amarillo distribution center on its way to Oakdale, a more alert USPS sorter saw the error and returned it to Utah.
