Complete works

* The "Virginia Edition," a 46-volume hardcover collection of all of Robert Heinlein's stories, novels, and nonfiction writing, plus a selection of his personal correspondence, was announced by Meisha Merlin Publishing in April 2005; the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust (which now owns all the Heinlein copyrights) instigated the project. Meisha Merlin went out of business in May 2007 after producing six volumes: "I Will Fear No Evil", "Time Enough for Love", "Starship Troopers", "For Us, the Living", "The Door into Summer", and "Double Star". The Trust has since embarked on an effort to publish the edition itself, having formed the Virginia Edition Publishing Co. for this purpose ref|virginia_blog. As was true for the Meisha Merlin effort, individual volumes will not be sold; subscribers must purchase the entire edition.

(NOTE: In July 2007, the Heinlein Prize Trust opened the online Heinlein Archives [see link below] , which enables anyone to view the manuscript versions of all Heinlein's works.)

# Encyclopædia Britannica articles: on Paul Dirac and antimatter, and on blood chemistry. A version of the former, titled "Paul Dirac, Antimatter, and You," was published in the anthology Expanded Universe, and demonstrates both Heinlein's skill as a popularizer and his lack of depth in physics; an afterword gives a normalization equation and presents it, incorrectly as being the Dirac equation.
