Where as I agree with you on buying them when they first come out, not everyone had that chance. Alot of Glen's books were written before I knew how to read, and a few were written before I was born. I just frequent used book stores and pick them up as I can. =D Jesi On 3/24/09 at 3:32am, Morley Dotes <morleydotes(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > _______________________________________________ > glencook-fans mailing list > glencook-fans(a)mailman.xmission.com > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans > >

Next Omnibus due September 15
by Marc Rikmenspoel 24 Mar '09

Looking at Amazon today, I see that "The Return of the Black Company" is due from Tor on September 15 of this year. Considering its 672 page count and $15.99 list price, this is probably the omnibus of Bleak Seasons and She is the Darkness. As word of this spreads around the internet, it should quiet some of the folks complaining about the lack of availability of 3 of the 4 Glittering Stone books.

Garrett reprints

I noticed a couple of things on Amazon today. Whispering Nickel Idols must have gone to a 2nd printing, as it now has a list price of $7.99 (confirmed on Penguin/Roc's website), while it was first released at $6.99. I had wondered how Cruel Zinc Melodies could sell well enough to go to a 3rd printing, without its predecessor novel getting beyond the first printing. (for paperbacks such as these, publishers don't change the list price unless they reprint the book and change the price printed on the cover) Petty Pewter Gods is still listed for August 4, 2009 reprinting, with Deadly Quicksilver Lies scheduled now to follow on December 1, 2009. This still seems to me to be a case of confusion, which isn't unusual with Amazon listings for forthcoming books. Why would Roc skip Red Iron Nights (book 6), to move ahead to Petty Pewter Gods (book 8), and then go back to Deadly Quicksilver Lies (book 7)? I suspect that Red Iron Nights will actually be out sooner, circa May or June of this year, followed by Deadly Quicksilver Lies in August, and Petty Pewter Gods in December. This would leave Faded Steel Heat (book 9) and Angry Lead Skies (book 10) to be reprinted in 2010. I had wondered how Whispering Nickel Idols (book 11) would fit into all this, but the reprint indicated above takes care of that, even before the book has fully gone out of print (I saw a $6.99 1st printing at a local Barnes & Noble this weekend). Perhaps the entire series will be in print by the time book 13, whatever it ends up being called, is released in 2010-2011!

Black Company Books needed!!!
by Joshua Johns 09 Mar '09

I am looking for someone to let their glittering stone series go at a decent price. Great as the books are there is no way I can afford the rediculous prices listed online. I would hate to have read this series this far to be thrwarted so close to the end. -- Sent from Gmail for mobile | mobile.google.com
