Of course, purists should contact the publishers and IFP to let them know that it's really a tetralogy. No Spectre omnibus edition is complete without "Bedtime Story" from TSWLM.
Now this, more than the "Collected Letters", is a cash grab.

Purists would also maintain that Spectre does not appear in YOLT. I'm not bothered by the cash grab, provided it enlarges Fleming's readership. With luck, folks unfamiliar with book Bond will be encouraged to buy this and might be impressed enough to read more, since the Blofeld trilogy is arguably Fleming's masterwork.

I've read all of the books. Why would I bother with this?

I don't think that Bond fans are the target audience for this.
I think this is more to hook new readers who might see it on the shelves and make a connection to the film and decide to take a flier on it.

Yeah we all know a proper mega super fan who'll buy it just to have it.

I think they will change the words around to make it more modern and call the main villain christoph waltz's character name instead of Blofeld.
And then after the movie is released there will be a news bulletin saying to put your Spectre Trilogy in the fridge for 48hours. And then readers will find that the change in temperature has activated something in the printing ink and changed the name of Christoph Waltz into BLOFELD.
But older fans will already know this plot twist because they have read the original novels before the name change to SPECTRE TRILOGY
