We finally have version 1 of our LEC checklist available for release, you can find it on the link below. This is been a long road, it took a few years to finally get permission from Easton Press to release the monthly letters. We have about 80% listed, we do have copies of all the letters between Carol and myself and the remainder will follow soon. There are also photo links to most entries.
Feel free to let us know about any corrections. This list have corrected many of the mistakes found in older list and we do plan to actively keep it up to date.

Yes, this is truly amazing. I love how perfectly everything is systematized. And so many of the missing MLs are included, this is truly a treasure.
The only thing I feel is missing in the short summary behind each title is the technology of production/reproduction of the illustrations. I feel this is just as important as the type of illustrations (water-colors, drawings, woodcuts, etc). Though admittedly for post-60s editions it is hard to always find this information (I have tried to extract this info where available in the MLs and could share if you feel that would be of help)

Thank you for the feedback everyone. We do plan to potentially do a more detailed list (or website) at a later stage, which will include all of the information we could not include in the list. We will also do a small summary of each book, production history or any other interesting facts, copies of all the known ephemera and potentially a section on George Macy's other ventures, Macy-Masius etc. This is a huge amount of work and could potentially be a set of books, but we will likely go electronic. If we do manage to get this done, there might be a small fee for full access, but like most academic work, this will probably not even cover our cost
