Second. I would guess that this is more an economical or practical decision. The "Ten Best Thrillers of the 80's" that you wish to see would be a book as big as around 3.000 pages. I am assuming that you will find less buyers for it than for the ten single books. But with short stories it happens quite often.

I was thinking more in terms of a boxed set. Like ten books inside a boxed container, something similar to how CDs are sold.
Interesting to see that the attempt was made using CDs and digital format even for books. Someone has obviously thought of this as a viable way to distribute a collection of books.
