And it's beautifully formatted with nice cover art and two handy linked Tables of Contents, one listing the novels in the order they appeared, and the other listing the stories in the order they happened to the character. A great, great bargain. There are similar huge, inexpensive collections featuring Edgar Rice Burroughs and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, too. Just thought I'd give fellow Kindlers a heads up."

Now, even tho I and others have posted you can get all these for free, and I've included linke to here, this is the type of answer being posted.

I also downloaded these for free, but for 80 cents I can see it being worthwhile for some people to get it via Amazon...They dont have to spend any time searching, or even moving the file to their Kindle. So while I would recommend the freebie version because I'm cheap, I can see it being worth the 80 cents to some people.
Also, I appreciate anyone who tries to bring bargains to our attention! Gotta love getting a deal."

I agree. I'd gladly have them all under one listing on my Kindle. .80 cents is a very small price to pay. I tried to find some of them for free and it was not easy. Combined with the time to download and covert 18 files, worth every penny-LOL

Yeah, I wouldn't pay $9.99 for it, but the convenience of a single download for all those books is definitely worth $.80.

Remeber, I posted links to here and feedbooks.com And here is my post

You can find the same thing, also beautifully formatted, with TOC links, on mobileread.com or feedbooks.com, for FREE. Also available are thousands of other books, also for free.
Paying for these books is just.....wrong.

Did you tell them specifically about the download guides? Maybe they don't get that they can click and download without having to load via USB. Some folks are a bit phobic about that.
