It’s called “The Virginia Edition: The Virginia Edition: The Definitive Collection of Robert A. Heinlein” and it’s a whopper of a set:
This historical project will consist of forty-six titles spanning the entire writing career of Robert A. Heinlein. The Virginia Edition will contain all of Heinlein’s novels and short stories. It will also include all of his non-fiction titles along with the vast majority of his interviews, social commentaries, speeches and articles. Finally the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust has agreed to allow us to include several volumes of Heinlein’s letters and personal correspondence
The project apparently benefits the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust and the Butler Library Foundation. The set is going to be printed on high quality paper, and they are going to make only 5,000 of ‘em. The prices start at $2,200 and end at $4,100 for a leatherbound set.
Wow. The money goes to good causes, but it’s just a smidge out of my price range. Somehow, I think I’m going to stick to the paperback versions. But when I finally get that lottery check from Nigeria I’ve been expecting, I’m make this first on my list. They sure would look nice adorning the walls of my trailer.
