They just really need to change the name of their stores to "Not Always Half Price Books, But Mostly".

PaulKM wrote:Jason, I hope you enjoy the books. I'll be looking for your comments, and I'm not going to refund your money if you hate them.
PaulKM wrote:Jason,I'm glad another fan of Peake has joined the ranks. (I think that makes three, and the love-hate affair seems to be a consistent theme ) I completely agree with your assessment. They are so rich, so well crafted, so strange, so important to literature, especially fantasy, it's a shame they're not widely read. They're a work of genius, in my opinion. A dream, a nightmare: agreed. How did you find the transition from the first book to the last two?Peake as a scenario designer would have be downright scary! I'm so happy you enjoyed the books. Now we just have to convince a few others.... Best,Paul

It seems a little out of what I can justify paying for it on Amazon (well over $100, especially including s&h to UK). Does it come up on eBay often? How much might I get it for? Any other ideas where to search?Thanks,Jon
