Does anyone know if the Collector's Folio Edition of the Oddworld art book ever came out? I remember sending an e-mail to Ballistic Publishing and I got this in response:

Adam,
The Folio Edition -- you are observant! We are still considering if and
how we might do this edition at all. We might do a very few of these --
double size (width, height and thickness), hand tooled heavy leather and
boxed binding. If we do these they will be extremely limited (just 1 - 10
probably) and could cost upwards of US$ 1,500.

We are looking at the possibility extending the editions we print to the
finest books ever made -- large folio sizes, highly decorated bindings,
gilding, hardware and boxing. However it is extremely expensive to make
books like this -- especially in very small quantities. At this stage we are
still investigating how we might make these editions.

I would be happy to hear your comments on collectors editions and the market
for them.

Regards

Mark

Then:

Adam,
Thanks for the reminder. I would love to do this edition. I did discuss
it briefly with Lorene Lanning and Sherry McKenna earlier this month but
none of us are in a position to move the idea forward just now.
I did think of starting a call for interest in such an edition -- if we got
enough interest / pre-orders then we could do a special print based on those
(if we get enough).

Keep reminding me.

Cheers.

Mark

So any clues if it was released? I know he said they had no plans at that very moment but it's been awhile now and I just wanted to know if it was released.
