To put it mildly new books are frequently being released, particularly
the comic reprints, but here's a book of note....
Simpsons World: The Ultimate Episode Guide - Seasons 1-20
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061711284/thesimpsonsarc0f
To Be Released October 2010
This is being released by It Books, the new imprint from Harper
Collins. I'm assuming this will also be multiple volumes, similar to
the slipcase edition they previously released with three volumes. It's
listed as 1200 pages and priced at $150.00, targeted no doubt for the
holidays. Amazon currently discounting to $104.39. I'm also
assuming it will include the first four volumes *and* add three(?)
additional volumes which they will also shortly thereafter release
separately. (Following the recent pattern of two seasons per volume it
would be three additional volumes.. to maximize profits).
Then there's also a special comic reprint volume...
The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0810988372/thesimpsonsarc0f
To be released April 2010
Instead of a standard Harper comic reprint, this is being released as
two volumes in slipcased hardcover by Abrams ComicArts, reprinting the
four Futurama/Simpsons crossover comics.... with the corresponding
slip case price of $24.99, of course.

the booklist for foreign volumes!
