No, this is not the same thing, what they are selling seems to be just a book 'about' ballads by Bronson....it is unfortunate, but the sets of books of ballads, both the Child set and the Bronson set with tunes are quite expensive now...(I have also the 1880's set of Child's original collection which were published as part of the "British Poets" series...wonder what THAT would bring on this crazy market?)It will be someone's luck, that a year after they spend some outrageous sum on a used set, there will be a reprint come out...
