Why can't you get Titus Groan in hardback?

Hmmm... having just found it at Abebooks, I guess not much... except I like to get an entire series in hardcover...and now, using the right search terms, I've found the other two! I know what I'm getting next...

In retrospect, I spoke too soon... Recently, I just got a couple of Asimov mysteries (can't remember their names) and all of his Lucky Starr novels in a SFBC omnibus edition, both hardcover, of course!

And now I need to raise the money to get a 1st edition I Am Legend... wouldn't want it to fall into the hands of a fan of the movie...

Was very very bad today...just spent a tenth of my paycheck buying the 3 missing Pratchett books from my discworld collection, (Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad and Eric), and the 3 Erikson books I'm missing, (Midnight Tides, Bonehunters, and Reapers Gale). Oh indulgence...

Was in the store and saw the name Kelly Link and this cover art, and couldn't resist buying Pretty Monsters, her latest collection.
