I have the same set. A retiree gave them to me, since he couldn't think of anyone who would want time them. His kids weren't interested. :frown:

Probably a common lament of very specialized people.

My ex gifted me a set of the lectures. Of all my books, they rank amongst my favorites and the first to grab in a fire.

I love Feynman. I don't always agree with him. Perhaps there could be some coffehouse discussion topics about such things.
 
I remember once arriving in a new school and finding a set of these in my classroom. Like winning the lottery.
