I really want DC to reprint Jay's Golden Age Flash stories. I can only find collections that are out of print as far as I can see and so they are expensive.

Unfortunately, there's probably not enough demand to make it worth DC's while to offer any new editions of something like that. And who knows how much editing they might wind up doing to things that wouldn't be politically acceptable to some people in the current day?
