Fewer. 
Gotta be with one publisher, as Updike was with Knopf. 
(Even the new translation of Remembrance of Things Past
is not all the volumes...yet...later volumes still under later
copyright...)

Now we have the Library of America editions....Bellow, Updike, Roth, Dick, 
others...

Graham Greene was done this way by Bodley Head (England), I believe. 

Vintage, Picador and some other paperback houses try sometimes to 
 gather in the licenses and do unifrom paperback editions----but
that isn't quite what you're thinking of, I'm sure..

Hi, list and especially Mark, who I know is involved in publishing

I probably should research this myself, but you know how you can go to
libraries and see like "Collected works of Goethe" in 40 volumes and
stuff...

do they still put those out for people like, oh, I dunno, Heller?
that is, are today's authors as voluminously productive, any of them,
as those old Victorian and Romantic dudes and dudettes?
