The BOT edition of The Works was done when most of Edwards's material was not available. It comprises about 12% of what JE actually wrote himself.

Does each Yale edition contain more than one book of Edwards? Other publishers sell, for example, a 150 page (or how ever long) unabridged version of
Religious Affections for $14.99. Yale's edition is at least $85.00, but contains a special introduction. Now, if Yale took all the compiled all the introductions into one volume and sold it for $85.00, then maybe they would have something.
And the same goes for all of J.I. Packer's introductions to John Owen!
