I very highly doubt they'll include the Quiet Darkness tripe.

Hah. Canada. Everyone knows they're not to be trusted, ever since they burned down the White House.

The Great Darkness Hardcover listed on Amazon is 412 pages, and the original TP is 192 pages, so that's alot of extra content!

Someone pointed out that the "Prologue to Darkness" trade has gone missing from Amazon. That was 208 pages.

Just got back from the store.
This. Book. Is. BEAUTIFUL!
The color. The paper quality. The art. It's all just outstanding.
I was hesitant to shell out for issues I mostly already have, but this is totally worth it.
I can't get over how great the coloured art looks on the new paper. It's just so bright and vibrant.

I've been told by the wife that I can't buy from amazon any more. Seems like they're selling a pedophile's how to handbook.
Still, I've got the originals, so I'm happy.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

Yes.
It features LSH v2 #284 through #296 and the first v2 Annual. No Annual #3 from 1984 like the previous TPB. I think they should have gone up to and included #300, personally.
I'm still puzzled as to why the backup "Leaders and Lovers" in #291 was redone. This one has the TPB version as well (Howard Bender's art is featured in #295).
It also includes a 6-page plot breakdown of all 25 pages of #290 and a two page plot breakdown of the 41 pages of #294. The cover to the original 1989 TPB and the alternate cover recreation from Adventure Comics #515. Finally, it has 8 pages of 8 of Keith's costume redesign sketches from that era.
Well worth the price to me. Looking forward to spending some time rereading my favorite Legion stories on nice glossy paper this weekend.

That was an ACCIDENT. I was just walking around checking out the outside of the building when those matches just HAPPENED to fall out of my pocket. And then the intense SUN just happened to strike the matches just SO, and.....  I will probably wait until this HC comes out in paperback. Just a preference of mine. I don't do hardcover/coffee table books.

Does it include a fold-out of The Giffen Poster that was in the original trade.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.

I haven't been this enthusiastic about a reprint volume since they started printing LSH Archives. It had been years since I read the V2 Annual #1 & I had forgotten all about Servants showing up during it.
I don't get how this book is $39.99 It has roughly 100 more larger pages than most Archive Editions that sell for 49.99. Not that I'm complaining.

I'm really on the fence about this. I own the original comics, and already have two soft cover reprints, one with and without the fol-out poster. To have a fourth copy of this material really makes me pause.

To you and other fellow Legionnites who are tempted but on the fence about this: If the $40 price tag is a boundary for you, In-Stock Trades has them at a STEEP discount of 38% off cover (which comes in at $24.79--well worth it, IMO!). Not sure what shipping costs if that's all you get, but if you spend $50 or more on your order, shipping's free. I've used IST frequently and the past and highly recommend it. (In comparison, Amazon offers it for $26.39.)
