<p dir="ltr">That's a shame about the typos, I haven't delved into it fully, just skimmed. I too will be buying every volume. Lafferty is peerless in short stories, and getting them all is worth... well, let me just say I would be willing to put up with a lot to have a complete collection. I am a bit confused about the pricing as well. My copy was $45, the sticker on the packaging said $100, and the Amazon pricing is $63. I wonder how the prices for the future volumes are going to pan out. </p>

I received mine as well. The physical quality is as Antonin described.<br>
<br>
I was displeased to come upon three errors on the second page of the first story (18). The name of the titular character is twice given as Jan instead of Jon, and there's a word missing from a sentence immediately after that. Very disappointing in a volume priced for collectors.<br>
<br>
Moreover, the pages have no headers; there is text, there are page numbers at the bottom, but that is all. In this kind of a collection of short stories, I expect to see the title of each story at the top of the appropriate pages.<br>
<br>
It's Lafferty, so I still plan to buy every volume they publish, but my goodwill for their effort is diminished. Makes me wish I had had $70K in hand when his estate was up for sale.<br>

> Finally got my copy of the first volume today. It is pretty nice, although I'm still not a fan of the cover design. The margins seem unusually large as well, there is a lot of space between the text and the edge of the page. The binding and materials are high quality though, and this will make a beautiful set when complete. And of course, all of the stories will be on my shelves! Can't wait to read ones I've missed.<br>
