So just because you aren't a collector then nobody else is allowed to be... lovely attitude and too typical of a certain section of contributors on this forum... commonly known as "dog in the manger" or "if I can't have it/don't want it then no-one else can or should be allowed to..."
If you're so desperate for a "collectible" then pay the price, if you're not (and/or consider the price outrageous" then don't buy, get something else but for crying out aloud - STOP whinging about authors' rights to supply customers with what they want, collectibles and then meet a more general market as something you consider more suitably priced/produced to meet your needs... it's their right to do this, they created the work...
And as an aside... limited editions produce a nice bonus income for an author and do NOT affect mass market sales as most readers never come across the limited edition or just ignore it...
