Is there a chance of there ever being a published collection of Stephen King's non-fiction?

Like articles he's written for magazines and websites, introductions he's written for other writer's books, liner notes for CDs, the occasional book or film review, ect.
I know that there is a great wealth of this stuff out there that could fill at least one 500+ page book and it's hard for the average reader to track it all down.

Bare Bones : Conversations on Terror with Stephen King

Came across this on the thriftbooks website. Mainly based on interviews with Mr. King. I think it could be a good read.

if such a collection was ever published, it would almost certainly be incomplete.
for years i've been collecting this type of non-fiction SK, including articles about
him & his work, transcripts, etc etc.

my ultimate goal is to custom bind my own hardcover volume(s) of all this material,
avoiding overlap by excluding items found in 'Bare Bones', 'Feast of Fear'
- 'Kingdom of Fear'
- 'Secret Windows'

somehow, my work pc does not play well with others... and posted my reply mid-edit.
it should read:

'Secret Windows', 'Danse Macabre' and 'On Writing'.

it's a lot of fun designing stuff like covers and tables-of-contents, all for completely
unique, one-of-a-kind items for my shelf.

Awesome idea. Have you done this before? I’m curious to know how you went about it. I have the same plan, but with uncollected short fiction by King. But this is a pretty new idea to me and I’m not quite sure how to go about it.

Do you use a certain website? And how do you go about cover design?
