In 2007, the Collector's Editions were released by Mongoose Publishing, going through three publishers before ending up with Joe Dever himself under Holmgard Press, which issued the long-awaited 29th book, The Storms of Chai, in 2015. Ben Devere took over Holmgard Press following his father's death, and since then has been completing the Collector's Editions, beginning with book 23, Mydnight’s Hero, in 2017.
The new Definitive Edition books do not match this old format. The Collector's Edition design was 'locked-in' by Mongoose in 2007. Holmgard Press added flourishes - such as a dust jacket with a panoramic map - but our focus now is on the improved, larger Definitive format.

The first posthumous Lone Wolf books - written by Joe Dever's son Ben and collaborator Vincent Lazzari - were prepared using extensive notes and hours of dictation taken from Joe in the weeks leading up to his passing. These First Edition books are currently only available in the smaller Collector's Edition format - for fans looking to complete their Collector's Edition sets (or eager to read the stories). But these titles - along with every book in the Lone Wolf series - will be made available in the larger, superior Definitive format in due course.
New readers are advised to purchase the Definitive Edition books, with the opportunity to create a complete, matching set.
