Glad to hear you are trying to negotiate non-DRM editions. It's a fairly decent selection of SF, considering what's out there these days. Some prices seem a bit high, though. Piper's Little Fuzzy has what, 200 pages? For $5.99? $6.99 for Heinlein's Puppet Masters? $27.95 for Charles De Lint's Onion Girl??? It's not like these books are going to cannibalize new release hardcover sales. I'm sure the publishers are pushing these prices, but maybe you could push back a bit?

Also, you might want to check your database -- you seem to be listing the author's name under "publication date" in some places.
