I have finally tracked down the last Vance Integral Edition volume I didn’t already own. This is the “Science Fiction Volume” produced as a preview test-of-concept.
Vance, Jack. The Languages of Pao and The Dragon Masters. The Vance Integral Edition, 2002. First edition hardback, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. The first edition restoring Vance’s original texts. This was bought from a collector as part of a small Jack Vance lot. I think I could have bought this for $32 at the time, but having paid for the VIE itself (a considerable chunk of change), I didn’t want to spend more for work that would later be included in the complete VIE anyway. Chalker/Owings (2002), page 946, which states there were 500 copies of this volume produced, but it seems a bit rarer than that.
Also, I finally had a chance to add the proof dust jacket I bought back in 2020.
So I now have all three of the extra volumes, plus one of the 200 signed, numbered VIE sets, plus the proof dust jacket for this volume. I believe that makes my set about as complete as you can possibly make it. (I suppose you could have a 47 volume deluxe set, one of the reportedly 26 signed sets bound in full leather, plus the extra volumes, but assembling all three of the extra volumes in that state would probably be very challenging indeed…)
