Hitting in August…
Fantastic Four #1 came out 65 years ago this summer — Aug, 8, 1961, to be precise — and Marvel has a couple of comics on the way that celebrate the anniversary. One of them is Fantastic Four #15, which will utilize classic images by Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne and Steve Epting “in an entirely new way.” Head on over here to get the lowdown.
The other publication is Fantastic Four: 65 Years of the World’s Greatest Comic Covers! — featuring every main FF cover ever released. (Both issues are due Aug. 5.)

So, postage stamps.

700 covers in a 56-page book is 12.5 covers per page – and that’s presuming NO text, just the covers themselves. Those images are going to be too small to be of any use. And since there’s going to be creator commentary as well, that’s just going to make it worse. This is one of those “I’d have to see it first before I decide if I’m going to buy it” books

I agree! I would prefer a bound book with each cover getting a full page.
