The Virginia Edition contains authoritative texts for all of Robert Heinlein's published fiction and non-fiction, with text taken from the last volume in which Heinlein had a hand in the preparation, or those works restored to their intended state in publications directly overseen by Virginia Heinlein after her husband's passing. Also included are 450,000 words of newly selected correspondence, most never before published. Each volume is introduced by Heinlein scholar and biography author, William H. Patterson, Jr., detailing the circumstances under which the work was written. Each Virginia Edition set is bound in leather and printed on buffered, acid-free paper that meets all US archival standards. Only 2000 sets were produced and each volume of the set is hand-numbered. Virginia Edition owners also receive unlimited access to the online Heinlein Archives which offers all of Heinlein's documents, manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, and personal materials in digital form.
This set includes:
The six volumes produced by Meisha Merlin each with a dust jacket and housed in a slipcase
The 46 volumes produced by The Virgina Edition each bound in leather without dustjacket as produced.
Actual shipping costs will be charged.
