Leather-bound Monster Manual Special Edition?

[rawhide]

Does anyone know if Wizards of the Coast is planning on releasing a Special Edition Leather-bound Monster Manual to complete the set? I personally would like to have all three in the leather bound versions and am currently holding off purchasing the revised Monster Manual for this reason.

I know it would cost some serious coin, but I would like to see the leather bound book be some "Monsterous Tome" combining the monsters from MM 1,2,and 3... Yea, I know, it would clock it at about 80 bucks... But, might as well go for broke if you're going to make it! :)

That is indeed a great idea, though I'd prefer to see all three books (upgraded where necessary) seperate but in a box set/slip case.

October: Special Edition Dungeon Master's Guide

I gave you the run-down of this much-anticipated tome last month [...] Anyway, once you take a look at this thing you'll want to put it on the shelf next to your Special Edition PHB. (Be sure to leave a little room, though.)

Be sure to leave a little room, though? A subtle hint?
