Yes.

Buy the Elric Saga. The first book is currently on sale for $1.99. This book contains:

• Elric of Melniboné
• The Fortress of the Pearl
• The Sailor on the Seas of Fate
• The Weird of the White Wolf

It sounds like the entry on sale is only part of the series, and the other parts are not for sale yet?

'On sale' in this case means 'deeply discounted.'

There are three Elric Saga collections. All three are currently available for purchase in the US. They are usually $12 a pop. But you can get the first book on sale for $2.

If you buy all three of them, you will have all the Elric you will ever need.

Incidentally, book 2 contains:

• The Vanishing Tower
• The Revenge of the Rose
• The Bane of the Black Sword
• Stormbringer

And book 3 contains:

• The Dreamthief's Daughter
• The Skyraling Tree
• The White Wolf's Son

The confusion comes from the origins of Elric. Originally, Moorcock wrote a bunch of short stories and novellas about Elric. Then, in the late seventies the stories were collected, reworked and put together to form an internal chronology. These are the six books that were being referenced.

Over the years, Moorcock wrote some more about Elric. These books are also being collected in the Elric Saga books. If you get these three books, you are getting everything (until Moorcock decides to write more. He is still alive after all).
