I'll put in a pre-pub order for the whole kit and kaboodle! Can't wait. I hope it's a big bundle with everything! That would be the best Christmas present ever.

Me too!! I am just re-reading The Four Loves. I do not always agree with him but I do always find myself stimulated by everything that he writes. His estate may be waking up to that fact that they are missing out on a lucrative market that is already shrinking as countries reach their 'entry to public domain' dates. I don't know about you but 'everything' to me also includes The Narnia series and the Science Fiction series trilogy!!! I can still remember listening to The Lion Witch and Wardrobe in the radio around 1960 as a kid. As a new Christian - a rather arrogant non-conformist - learning about how at least one Anglican used the Lord's prayer every week ..... Sorry I will shut up, I could go on and on. Suffice to say, he played a big part in helping me to mature as a Christian. PS Two memorable bits from Narnia, Aslan singing Narnia into existence and also the end of the world (The Final Battle).

Oh yes, to me "everything" means EVERYTHING. Here's my post that I added to that Facebook thread:
Funnily enough, my favorite is a multi-volume collection called The Complete Works of C.S. Lewis (including all his fiction, non-fiction, essays, literary criticism, poetry, and letters). Ever heard of it? I hope you have, and I hope it's coming soon to pre-pub. But if I had to choose what to do in Logos first, I'd go for a set of his full-length non-fiction theological works (Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, Miracles, The Abolition of Man, Reflections on the Psalms) plus his autobiographical works (Surprised by Joy, A Grief Observed) plus Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce and Letters to Malcolm Chiefly on Prayer.Then I'd go for a fiction set: The Chronicles of Narnia, the Space Trilogy, and Til We Have Faces.Then a collection of all his essays, especially the ones in Weight of Glory, God in the Dock, Finally his Letters to Children and Letters to an American Lady and more of his collected letters.I'd love to have the lit crit (Allegory of Love, Experiment in Criticism, The Discarded Image, Preface to Paradise Lost, etc.), poetry, and more obscure works too (Boxen, Pilgrim's Regress, The Dark Tower, etc.) but those would be harder for you to sell. So I'd be happy with the first three or four collections that I'm suggesting.But really...do everything! You'd be the ONLY digital publisher to do so, and it would be amazing.

[:D] I like the idea of several collections (probably along your lines) released just enough distance apart to be able to save up for them!
I hope it's a big bundle with everything!
If we can judge by the books released today on Olive Tree, the CS Lewis collection might contain
IF it ever makes it to Pre-Pub.
Ooh, that would be nice, and that does look like a sign that Aslan is on the move. But ouch! Faithlife, why did you let the other guys beat you to the punch?

Rosie you already know the answer.... It hasn't gone through pre-pub so they can get it under contract!!!

I will be delighted to replace my Personal Book C. S. Lewis collection with the real Logos Lewis collection.
I only have one Lewis PB which I made for myself because I was taking a class for which is was a required text: Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer. I'll still probably keep that because I went to some great trouble to edit it and fixed a couple of typos that were even in the original print version (no, they weren't British spellings). And I'm still in the process of adding editorial footnotes to point out sources of a lot of his quotes and allusions that were not cited in the print edition's footnotes. I suppose I could transfer those over to Note in the Logos edition once it ships, but it's kind of nice having built-in footnotes.
