The Box Set, This Woman's Work usually runs at a new price for about 
$190.  So probably yes.  I would've looked for Kate's trademark, the 
photos, and printed lyrics for further authenticity, to make sure it's 
not a bootleg.  There were copies made in Canada, the UK, and Japan.  
(Germany, too, maybe?)

In the U.S., you have to special order it, unless you have a big city 
extra large Tower record store (or its equivalent) near you.  It was not 
made in the U.S., because by the time of its release Kate was no longer 
with EMI America in the U.S. (while she still was with EMI in the UK).

It contains all the albums Kate made up to The Sensual World, plus two 
additional volumes of rare tracks, including B sides, her live EP, rare 
singles, and extended mixes.  It certainly was not complete in its time, 
but it's a big chunk of her work.  All lyrics are included for the 
albums, and in the Japanese import, the lyrics for the B sides are also 
included.  There's also a booklet of photographs as well.  The UK version 
contains extra stickers containing her new symbol.

I think I've answered above.  You can try CDNOW.  I believe it contains 
the UK and Japanese imports, but you might find a better price elsewhere. 
 It's address is:

I'm very happy with my box set.  I play it all the time.  I highly 
recommend it to any lovehound out there.
