   They would also have to consider how they do it - one of the "features"    
   of the books is that they would not be available in the future after the    
   end of the publication window.   
      
   They also couldn't publish them exactly as they were, as another thing    
   they always say is basically "these won't ever be published in their    
   entirety again" - the deal when they were first published was similar to    
   the one for the "Echoes" series:   
      
       	"PLEASE DEFINE EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN BY LIMITED EDITION.   
       	These books will never, ever be available again. This compilation        
   	under a different title will never, ever be available again. Really.        
   	Name any ploy used by an unscrupulous "limited edition" publisher        
   	and know that we will not do that.   
      
       	That said, it is possible that some of the content could be        
   	available somewhere else, someday, separately. "Separately" is the        
   	key word here. For example, one of the interviews could be        
   	republished in another book."
