We have nearly every single LEC published in stock, many but not all 
catalogued on our web site.  Most can be found by using our Search 
Engine and typing LEC in the "Any Word" category.  If it's not there, 
feel free to inquire as we also have many books yet to be catalogued, 
including a collection we just acquired last week.  We also have many 
individual LEC letters available at $15 each.
