Perhaps Dr. Kistler could shed more light.
Somebody told me there was supposed to be five volumes. The individual titles were also very expensive.
My recollection (either from a conversation with Dr. Kistler or an associate in SDG) is that the sales of the first volume were low enough that publication of the remaining volumes as "Complete Works" wasn't going to be financially viable - hence the smaller individual pieces that have come out since Vol. 1 of Love's works was published (which I snapped up immediately upon its publication, hoping for the rest to soon follow )
I am sure that was annoying.
