Harry Potter offshoot unveiled→[More:]This? [nsfw] Oh, sorry, my mistake.
Stephen King is the king of limited editions. The last time I checked (late 90s), he had had almost as many small-run titles as he did mass publications.
I'll wait to see the first link when he comes to Broadway ;-).
Not publishing the stories is just mean. Marguerite Henry included a book-within-a-book in Born to Trot but people would STILL ask about the separate copy, so she finally published One Man's Horse.
This is fairly stupid, and in a way cruel to her young fans. She is auctioning off the 7th edition for charity, if she actually cared how MUCH it would raise for the charity, I am sure a generally available printing would raise more total revenue, and more importantly would be ongoing.
