It’s like illustrated editions are cursed or something…
Bloomsbury was doing gorgeous Harry Potter illustrated editions. They got through 5/7 and the illustrator burned out and stepped down. 😟 In theory they have a replacement and #6 will be out next year.
The Folio Society was doing a fantastic illustrated sets of the original James Bond books, then their artist got caught stealing the work of other artists in their Wizards of the Coast work, that de-railed the final book in the series, but it DID finally come out.
Yeah i am reluctant now unless I know the artist has finished the series. Wish I spent the extra for the folio versions of GoT series as those are at least complete and far nice
Yeah I do not think he ever publish another one, we might get something like the Silmarillion when he dies put together by his estate, if he doesn’t have it all destroyed as part of his will.
Folio is the reason I downsized my bookcases, stop me spending so much money. I got rid of half my books, books I had no intention of ever reading again even the rare ones.

Complete for now… Martin is the hang up at this point. 😉
But serious shout out to Folio for doing some of the best books in the business. I’ve spent way too much money with them. LOL.

That was what happened with Terry Pratchett. He ordered all his uncompleted works destroyed when he died. 😟
Then Gaiman went ahead with a sequel to Good Omens anyway… 🤬
