Also remember up until recently the UK editions from around 1999 on were the true firsts,, though of late it has been the Oz editions. You will see the books at good prices on ebay , but remember you are not often buying from professional book a dealer, so you have no idea what you might get. And remember even if you do find that super condition special book at a bargain price you were looking for, the dumb ass selling it could put it in an envelope and post it, no padding , no protection. You get a bumped and bent book, worth £0 -- John The Official Raymond E Feist Website http://www.crydee.com/ Books to read, and shelves to fill, Ray's great books, just fit the bill.
