And let's hope that there is a hardcover edition that's bigger than 250 copies!

Also, speaking of HPL's letters, how feasible is it to collect them all in book form? Of the numerous volumes already published, what percentage of the total do they total?
Rather small a percentage (the latest estimate I've seen is that about 10% of HPL's letters have survived, which would put the total number at anywhere between 6 000 and 10 000 letters). But a couple of mailings back, there was a notice in the EODapa that Hippocampus Press has plans for a complete series of HPL's letters, in 20-25 volumes. The forthcoming Lovecraft/Derleth letters should then be considered the first two volumes of this series. Let's just pray that the Hippocampus can pull it off!
