VIZ Perfect Collection (PC) "Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind" 1-4
Published by Viz Communications.
Size: 8.08" x 5.56"
  vol. 1: 263 pages,  10/1/95  ISBN: 1-56931-096-3, $17.95   
  vol. 2: 283 pages,  10/1/95  ISBN: 1-56931-087-4, $17.95 
  vol. 3: 264 pages,  8/1/96   ISBN: 1-56931-111-0, $17.95 
  vol. 4: 272 pages,  10/97    ISBN: 1-56931-211-7, $17.95 
  Box set 1082 pages, 01/00    ISBN: 1-56931-348-2, $69.95
  

A PC volume contains two GN volumes or one and part of another, so it's more affordable:

PC 1 = GN 1 and GN 2
PC 2 = GN 3 and GN 4
PC 3 = GN 5 and first half of GN 6
PC 4 = last half of GN 6 and GN 7

The GN volume presentations are nicer since they have a dust cover, better quality paper, and include a watercolor page inside (except for vol. 6 and 7).

The box set bundles all four PC volumes in a wraparound case.

Each volume corresponds to the same volume in the Japanese version, with same size, but uses white bleached paper. Basically it keeps the artwork of the front/back cover, and all attached posters in Japanese vol. 1-6. Since this is the Chinese version, there is no mirror flipping, but vol. 1-4 have even-odd page switched and an extra 1st 'title' page added that looks similar to vol. 5-7 of the Japanese version. Sound effects have been all changed into Chinese.
