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.
I'll think about it - in eight years time.
Seriously, I had to wait about that long from the last book of the south Glittering Stone (which I expected to be a single book) to come out, so why shouldn't others?
The anticipation is half the fun! ;-) I remember scouring used book stores in the late '80s for "The White Rose" for a couple years after I foolishly didn't pick it up at the same time as "Shadows Linger." I also remember the elation when I finally found it in a dark corner of my favorite book store. Amazingly it lived up to the years of waiting. Which books specifically are you looking for? I see that "Water Sleeps" is available used from amazon.com for $1.24 + $4.00 for shipiping for the hardcover edition. That's very reasonable. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0312859090/ref=ed_oe_h_olp The prices for "Soldiers Live", "She is the Darkness" and "Bleak Seasons" are outrageous, I agree. I have an extra copy of the hard cover of "Bleak Seasons" which I could sell you for the price I paid ($23) plus shipping. You could also check your local libraries if you haven't already. Or wait for the next omnibus from Tor. Steve P.S. You could always pick up the Dread Empire omnibus editions in the meantime. :)
