Where are the Books

Post by chainlink »

Where can I find the first Trilogy of Donaldson?!? Barnes and Noble and Borders don't have it and I don't want to order it through the mail/internet...

I was SHOCKED at this as well. I was looking through either Walden's or Dalton's the other weekend, and noticed that they didn't have a single SRD book on the shelf. I've never, ever, seen that before. When I came to (the clerk frantically fanning me with a copy of Maxim), I hurried over to the other book store in the mall. Luckily he still had a whole shelf over there. Maybe the first store was consolidating all his books into a single display, in preparation for the new book. :-)

Amazon.com is always a good place. But I'm still surprised that the other two stores you mentioned didn't have any on the shelf. I guess there are so many different copies of Tolkien out there right now that the early part of the alphabet is getting trimmed down to compensate.

Yeah, for some reason I always have a hard time finding SRD books in bookstores as well. The Gap series is even harder to find then Thomas Covenant. If you don't want to look online, then you just have to look around, I guess. Or ask one of your bookstores to order it for you.-jay

Which reminds me, the used bookstore across the street from my job has several of the Gap and Mirror books in hardcover. If anybody's interested, I can check prices for you. I checked once, and, iirc, they're all at least $10-15. If more than one of you are interested, I guess I'd have to go in the order that your pm hits my Inbox.

Waterstones is the only major bookstore I know of round here, and it always has SRD books in - usually just TC and Gap, though; I don't think I've seen any of the others.

Amazon has all of SRD's works, including the Reed Stephens novels, both in HC and PB. :D

All the stores in Tampa have them. Where do you live? If there's a larger city near you, perhaps the next time you go there, you can check their book stores.

Or you could check out used book stores. That's how I got my hardbacks of the first trilogy.

Well he is a Dallas fan--maybe that's why the books are avoiding him?

Actually, the Borders I go to had the Gap series when I last went, plus a new edition of Mordant's Need, as well as the full chronicles.

The previous time I checked it did not have the Gap series and the Mordant's Need was an older edition.
