It's weird that the series he just can't seem to leave be is the Elric books. He doesn't seem to have continuously updated the Hawkmoon books, for instance.
I guess it's a combination of the Elric books having been written when he was very young, so had less control over the editing and their popularity, eclipsing the rest of his work.
