Come along, girl. Mustn’t keep the auctioneer waiting.
…_Must a command be repeated?_ :mad:
_looks pointedly at what hangs on the wall_. A whip. What else? 😃

> $16,000 for _TCOM_? Among my TP-reading friends (and that’s a not insubstantial number) it is universally held to be the worst DiscWorld novel. I would fork out that amount - always assuming that I had it, of course - for _Small Gods_ or _Lords and Ladies_, but _TCOM_? Er… no. My wallet stays firmly shut. 😛
I realize this is a zombie thread and **Dervorin** may not even be around any more, but…
The advantage of having _TCOM_ as your ultra-expensive rare collectible is you won’t ever be tempted to crack it open and read it. 😉

C’mon. With three posts in the last couple of days it can’t be a “zombie” can it?
But I’d sure like answers to my questions. 🙂

Hill House is not a well publisher.
Reprints of Martian Chronicles have moved to Subterranean Press and Neil Gaiman’s blog post of March 6th directs people who had orders in for Hill House’s Neverwhere to e-mail someone at Harper Collins.

In short, it’s a one man show, he’s ill and no more books are thought to be forthcoming.
