V 054 is about 500 8.5x11 pages -  at maturity it could look like this. What does maturity means. It means when each new paragraph added sort of removes another paragraph. 

Say 1 Big Book volume was delivered every month to you and there was 1000. That's 12 a year so 85 years subscription. That seems like too long of a timeframe. 50 a year is 20 years... 10 years seem more appropriate for much of human knowledge.  In 10 years we discovered new planets, made Pluto not a planet,... our understanding of the brain has evolved... a few new countries are created or deleted or renamed.   Something sounds right about 10 years. It provides a cushion for the traditional non-fiction before it gets distilled into a larger form. Particularly if Mickey Mouse copyright can be perpetually maintained by Disney (an example), then we need an alternative form where credited appropriation of a particular image with Mickey Mouse (as opposed to republishing integral work) becomes a legal commodity.
