What happened with Eddings Belgariad. I bought them as they were released, slowly, over the last year then just after I bought the last one they disappeared?

That's a good question. They weren't in the US store for long. Could be a dispute over who currently owns the rights in the US.

I picked up Tanya Huff's Sing the Four Quarters. It looks like they are releasing this backlist series one book every two months. Her Wizard of the Grove (omnibus book with Child of the Grove and The Last Wizard) will be coming out in March. The Child of the Grove and Last Wizard were her first books. Huff's a pretty interesting writer, she's had hits in the traditional fantasy (Wizard of the Grove), SF and urban fantasy.

I don't think they were available to libraries previously? If there is no interest in new ebooks available to libraries, I'll stop posting.

*I* am interested books being newly available to libraries since I'm on a self-imposed ban on buying books for myself. |

I wasn't criticising your post, John. Often, when books have different UK and US publishers, ebooks that have been available in the UK for ages can be newly available in the US, or vice versa.

Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea books seem to be available as ebooks in the UK at last.
