All the works in The Impossible Library series are in strictly limited and certified editions. Some of them, especially the ones that were published first, may have terminated and may no longer be available from either the publishers or via the sales network. However, to satisfy the requests from collectors, the publishing firm may still, through its archives, provide a few copies of works that have been sold out, but only to purchasers of the entire series.
