You've replied to the wrong post. I think you meant the post above mine talking about this book.

Sorry Jon. I misread your post as pertaining to the Quoth one above yours, not the one you quoted. I’ll put my specs on…..

I changed it but not in time.

That’s indeed where they came from but they can’t be blamed as I wasn’t wearing them. Oh dear the perils of growing older.

Would you mind telling which story is a duplicate?

I bought that volume (published 2014) some time ago, but haven't read it--though I have read a bunch of his stories in the past--and a quick look wasn't enough for me to spot the double.

I wish NESFA Press would publish their two Sheckley collections as ebooks.

Multiple books from Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle series are on sale today from the usual vendors.

The Tombs of Atuan (The Earthsea Cycle Series Book 2) - $1.99:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GTB52E

Tales from Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle Series Book 5) - $2.99:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZX86BO

The Other Wind (The Earthsea Cycle Series Book 6) - $2.99:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H1U22E

Kinda strange that I haven't seen A Wizard of Earthsea drop in over a year. That's usually the one that goes on sale most often. I ended up borrowing the book from Libby instead when I finally wanted to read it and got tired of waiting for a sale.

There was the complete novels plus short stories plus illustrations cheap for a shortwhile a year or two ago. Re-read all the novels then and the shorts which i'd never seen.

Perhaps it will come up again.

Where? Physical or digital? I know there's the giant physical hardback with illustrations (we bought it for my mother some years back), but as far as I'm aware it has no digital edition. You're forced to buy each book piecemeal if you want them as ebooks.

Plus, it seems like Books 3 and 4 have never dropped below $5, even going back to 2010:
https://www.ereaderiq.com/dp/B008GT7...e-series-book/

https://www.ereaderiq.com/dp/B001D1Y...ycle-series-4/

Looks like I'll end up either paying full list price for those when I get to them, or going the Libby route again.

The omnibus of Earthsea (with Charles Vess illustrations) is available in ebook form, but only in the UK from Gollancz. They also have individual ebook editions of each book, that have Vess's covers from the omnibus, but I think no other illustrations.

That's it and time files. Bought from Amazon UK end of summer 2021. A really well done ebook omnibus.

I read it on a Kobo.

Well, dang, I would've gladly traveled overseas and paid full price for that, as it's very reasonable compared to the ridiculous $60 you'd pay in total for the ebooks at list price in the US.

I saw a tradeback of The Tombs of Atuan at B&N the other day, and it's a frickin' pamphlet in width.
