Rest assured @narnian78, the 1988 BBC cover edition did contain Pauline Baynes' illustrations as usual.  It was the regular LWW novel, although of course a special edition - released obviously to promote the release of the BBC TV series.

Ah, yes, @sir-cabbage - your attached image brings back memories.  I couldn't recall the names of the stories at all when I attempted to look them up the other day after you mentioned them here.  That seems to be affective advertising - giving the books away in cereal boxes.  Meanwhile, as mentioned earlier in this thread, in Australia we had to purchase them at bookstores.  I must have given my copies away many years ago in one of my moves, no doubt...

I am glad that the BBC cover edition had the illustrations by Pauline Baynes.  It must have been quite nice, although today it would be rare and difficult to find if you could somehow locate a copy. I actually prefer Pauline Baynes’ illustrations on the covers, but it certainly would be nice to have the photographs from the BBC series included in the edition.  I wonder how well a BBC series edition would sell if it were reprinted here in the U. S.  🙂

@sir-cabbage Very interesting — I don't remember those at all. I was living in Australia at the time, but I don't think I ever spotted those in bookshops, or else I would probably have had a look through them just to see what they were like, much though I didn't enjoy the film.

I can see from the image you've shared that three of the books are "Lucy's Adventure", "Edmund's Struggle" and "Peter's Destiny", but I can't make out the title of the one about Susan. Is it "Susan's Bravery"? Not a good choice, if so, as Susan consistently shows herself to be the least brave of the Pevensie siblings. She also has the least character development in LWW, so I'm wondering how much mileage they could get out of "her" story for an individual book. But obviously they managed it. 

@courtenay I believe the tie-in book is titled is Susan's Journey. 

Just coming back to this thread after several months, as I wanted to comment on what you said @courtenay.  To be honest, as I recall it, I don't think you were missing out on anything.  Those four short stories from each of the Pevensie's perspective were not written anywhere near as well as C.S. Lewis' own writing.  The stories were rushed and they were pretty cheaply done.  I recall them including pictures from the movie - but even those pictures were only black & white and featured in between the text.  I purchased the books, as I recall, because I was getting Narnia merchandise whether good or not as good, to show my support for the books and for the movies!

That is probably the photo on the DVD box set of the BBC serials.

Is that box of the remastered BBC episodes from 1988-1990 that I read about this morning? This version is associated with a 2-hour documentary called Return to Narnia. I read about it in this MSN article. Apparently, it is to be released tomorrow in UK, anyway.
