From the Publisher
We believe the public will welcome a complete collection with, for the first time, a full index of the material. Here it is at last, all of it in a single tome, set in easy-to-read 11pt Baskerville on archival-grade, acidfree paper, with a Smythe-sewn binding for drop-it-on-the-floor, longlasting toughness.
