Faulker Boxed Set?

Does anyone have any insight into why there isn't a William Faulkner Boxed Set? Or am I somehow missing it on the website? Thank you.

>1 BibliophageOnCoffee: Probably just too many volumes to fit comfortably in a box. I think the largest boxed sets are four volumes.

I know that the five volumes of novels have sometimes been available to purchase as a multi-volume set (no box, but with a discount). But one of those volumes is not currently in print, which is probably why the multi-volume set isn't currently visible on the website.

A complete Faulkner boxed set these days would contain six volumes.

Thanks for the feedback. I think it would be nice to see the six volumes split between two boxed sets. Other publishers have made a 7-volume Harry Potter boxed set and the (incomplete) 5-volume Song of Ice and Fire series, but I guess LoA just isn't interested in doing something like that with Faulkner. Oh well.
