My guess is that without a big name poet or a celebrity (Julie Andrews, Caroline Kennedy) attached, such books are labor intensive, the poets have to be mostly dead and poems in PD so cheap, and the books don't sell in the big numbers that the Random Penguins are looking for otherwise.

This is such an interesting observation, Lee. I think of the thick anthologies on our library shelves compiled by David McCord, Paul Janeczko, Myra Cohn Livingston, Arnold Adoff. They have all but disappeared. Do you have any theories as to why this is? Is it too difficult or expensive to secure the rights?
I'd really love to hear the experiences of anthologists on this listserv, such as Ruth Gordon and Lee Bennett Hopkins, as well as those from the publishing industry.

Anthology as we knew it in the past is a rare breed. Fewer and fewer collections are being published than ever before.
