It's not available anymore? That's a bummer. The Complet Enchanter (which is missing one story, thus the Complete Compleat Enchanter) was the first eBook I bought from peanut press on my palm pilot (ah, to have young eyes again!). Peanut Press went belly up and I lost access to the book, thus my determination to remove DRM from any ebook I buy. I bought the ebook from Baen, back when they had the rights to at least some of de Camp's books. They also came out with a few books and short stories in the Enchanter universe around the same time.
I'm sure it's a case of the contract expiring. He actually didn't die until 2000 at the age of 92, so I think that contract was from before his death. No idea who the copyright holder is now, I don't think he had any kids (his wife died several months before he did, which happens a lot with long married couples). It could very well be one of those orphaned works.
