I'm toying with the idea of purchasing this, The Virginia Edition of the works of Robert A. Heinlein:

http://www.virginiaedition.com/

The only reason I've been hesitating is the price, $1500 for all 46 volumes! It would be the capstone of my book collection, though. I may have to reconsider.

I just went to Amazon earlier today and ordered Time Enough for Love and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

I would love to have them, sealed and put away for the future!

Just make sure the pages are made of rag paper.

My collection of Heinlein books (I have every one - some I have 2 of) is very old and mostly paperback. Some of the books are falling apart. I’ve always wished that someone would publish all his works in a collection. Apparently his wife did. The price is not feasible for this fan. Do you know of any other collections?

My mother was a great reader and collected many of his books and then shared them with me. I read the first one when I was 11 - TUNNEL IN THE SKY - (”Watch out for the Stobor!”) then devoured the rest in her library. I always looked for his books in every book store I visited and finally managed to get all of them. That collection you linked to would be lovely to have. He was a great writer.

Thanks for your post.
