I don't think there is such a thing as a copyright date for the entire series; rather, each individual book is copyrighted. The first book was published in the UK on 26 June 1997. I guess that (1997) would be the copyright year, for the first book.
im not sure how much its worth but i have the 1956 copyright date on mine and i have lord of the rings trilogy and the hobbit
'The Hobbit' of course!
The original book is copyright 1978 by Judi Barrett, illustrated by Ron Barrett published by Atheneum Books (a division of Simon & Schuster)
