My ghod, are they? /goes to check.

Oh, you meant in Singapore. But at least DAW/Penguin are finally putting some more of the older ones in digital, and in the omnibus editions, which makes the $8-9 they're asking for them seem somewhat more reasonable than setting that price for solo novels.

Although they did pair together for that amount Darkover Landfall and Two to Conquer, which are respectively one of the shortest and one of the stupidest books in the series.

Be warned that most of the available Darkover e-books are the new posthumously written ones done "from her notes" by other authors and some are simply glorified fanfic (which ignore character and setting history and the established timeline, just like real fanfic, whee!).

They, too, are good candidates for a library read.
