On top of that, my Penguin Davies didn't age well; the pages yellowed terribly. I agree with you; they're virtually unreadable.
So. I think it's morally questionable to "travel" to save money; an author (or his estate) is entitled to cut the best deal he legally can. But when books are unavailable in the US, I find I can square my conscience. Even as far as authors' rights go, I figure some money is better than none at all.
Kobo Canada sells the Davies novels and I've tossed my paperbacks. Make of that what you will.
