Theodore Presser is currently the North American distributor.

Some important things to know.  Not all volumes of the edition are currently available at the North American price point.  For those volumes that are not you would have to pay for the international price (more expensive).  I spoke to a Theodore Presser rep at the recent MTNA collaborative conference and she said they are working on getting the complete series at the North American price. 

The studies here:

There are several items listed for the concertos.  I guess you'd have to check which one is the two piano arrangement.  Here is one:

What happened to Dover??????!!!!!!

I just looked online to give you a recommendation to buy the Dover Paderewski edition, but I found that they no longer offer that edition... it's all edited by Carl Mikuli now... Who granted was Chopin's student, but he changed a lot of things in the score because he thought that was what Chopin intended, though he didn't write.

Why did Dover scrap the Paderewski?  I'm glad I bought my score back before they opted to reprint the Mikuli German edition. *sigh*

From what I've heard old editions of Dover were the Paderewski reprint.  For some reason (maybe copyright) they had to change. 

jlh, when did you buy your Dover copy?

Yes, all of my Dover Chopin's are Paderewski reprints.  I bought them new I believe between 1996-1998.

I wish I would have known about the reprints back then.  That was about the same time I was stocking up on the Paderewski individual volumes.

It had something to do with USSR/Warsaw Pact copyright law vs. Polish and Russian Federation copyright law; it took awhile for things to get straightened out after 1991. The Dover editions were pulled when the rights to those editions of music were returned or reassigned to the original or different publishers. Dover then replaced the Paderewski Chopin with the Mikuli edition. Don't know the whole story, unfortunately.

I have a Dover edition of Shostakovich Preludes and Preludes and Fugues.  8) Only $11:99 ten years  ago. You can't get that anymore either, or the International Music Co, Khachaturian Piano Concerto...  >:(

I was checking out the Shostakovich P&F's about a year ago and they didn't come cheap.  The only edition that the store had was $50 for volume 1, and $50 for volume 2!!!!!

I wish Dover could get some rights to reprint Durand.  I mean $25 for some 10 or so pages of Danzas Argentinas?
