Most houses hide what they sold out of. It is an odd instinct, because the closed edition is the only evidence you have that the number on the page ever meant anything at all.
So the archive keeps all of it: the cover, the six stories, the garment, the declared number and the day the press was sealed. Nothing is delisted. Nothing is quietly reprinted next spring in a slightly different weight. What you missed you can still read — you simply cannot buy it, and that is the entire arrangement.
Today the archive is nearly empty, and we would rather say so plainly than pad it with placeholders. Issue 001 is still open. Nothing has been sealed yet.
That line changes once, and then it is true forever.
