I'm a big reader of Marvel's Essential TPB's, and I've been wondering if they planb on proceeding furhter with the Essential X-Men beyond VOlume 4, or Essential Stan Lee's X-Men beyond the one volume of that?

Does anyone know?

There is only one volume of the Stan Lee X-Men--you're not missing anything. It continues directly onto the Essential Uncanny X-Men volumes.

WOW, they were able to fit all 60 someodd issues into one volume...Guess, COmic's in the 60's were even shorter than I had thought.

WRONG. The Stan Lee X-Men book was cancelled for a few years--those 60 some odd issues were reprints. Then it was relaunched with the Giant Size X-Men issue.

The Essential X-Men books start from Giant Size X-Men #1. For the first 60-odd issues (I think it was cancelled at 66) is under Essential Uncanny X-Men.
