Wow… memories… I loved Bloom County and had several books when I was younger.  
Is there a compendium of all strips from first to last that can be purchased? I would buy this.

Anyone know?

I don’t think so. If you get a subscription to [Ucomics.com](http://Ucomics.com), you can get access to the entire run (minus about 160 strips which seem to be lost in space - if you find them, the site will supposedly reward you somehow). I’ve downloaded all of the ones that are available.

You can also get _The Academia Waltz_ - the precursor to Bloom County as well as Outland.

At this time, the current Opus strip is not available officially online.
