The complete painting created by Michael Whelan can now be seen at the
NESFA website (http://www.nesfa.org/press/Books/Zelazny-Project.html).
Clicking on it brings up a larger version which reveals details and
characters from Zelazny's stories; I keep discovering new things every
time I look at it. The artwork will be staggered from volume to volume
and it wraps the spines of the jackets so that when the six volumes
are displayed on a shelf, the spines form a single image.
If you click on the web pages for each of the first two volumes (links
to the right-hand side of that main page) you will then see the front
of the final dust jacket and table of contents for each. There are
likely unfamiliar titles in there because previously unpublished as
well as previously uncollected stories are included. At the moment the
table of contents for each volume lists the stories and articles; the
poetry isn't listed. There are 32 poems in volume 1, and 21 poems in
volume 2.
The table of contents of the last 4 volumes will be posted in coming
months.

That seems wonderful! I would love to have these books; will you let us
know when they're available to order as well?
Would they be in shops as well, or only through that site?

The books should be available through Amazon as well as the NESFA
Press website. Some bookstores (especially SF specialty shops)
regularly carry NESFA Press titles. For many others it may require
that you place a special order through your local bookstore. My
understanding is that it won't be possible to order the books until
they are actually available in February -- the reason being that NESFA
Press is a small organization and would rather not (or doesn't have
the capacity to) handle the administrative problem of tracking pre-
orders.
