Item Description
Complete 46-volume Virginia Edition of Robert Heinlein's published fiction and non-fiction. Leather-bound, one of only 2000 sets.
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.
The book dimensions are 6.25"L x 9.25"H and the width varies from .5" to 2". Note that most of the books are still sealed in plastic but a few have been opened (but are still in new condition).
Donated by the Virginia Edition publishing company of the Heinlein Prize trust.
