When they release 2.0 they should ALSO release a single book that is the storyline from 1.5 through the last book published prior to the 2.0 release. Allowing those that are just getting into the game at 2.0 the opportunity to have a complete story without an investment in previous books where 2/3 of the information is useless. It would be a no-brainer for a new player just getting in,... purchase Malifaux 2.0, a box set of your choice, and, if you like the fluff story for your tabletop miniature game, you could go ahead and purchase "The Mailifaux Story" Book 1. (Better yet,.. make the Full storyline up til 2.0 available as a FREE PDF download,.. yea,.. that's the ticket.)
