From the production director at Doubleday "The 52 lettered tomes were not available to the public, as they served as internal samples, used for various marketing purposes.  I was very disappointed in the final box specifications, as I wanted to have the box shaped as a coffin.  DD thought that would be too cumbersome on the store shelves...  I also wanted the title applied to the box top, as a brass oval, with brass tacks securing it to the box.  Again, that didn't make the final cut."
