I wanted to make sure I had everyone's attention so I typed in all caps.IMHO 1,23 are the best and the ones I wil reread over again.If your referring to the Psi Corps,technomage,centauri are in hardback I know I have them.

Actually, I think The Science Fiction Bookclub issued the three B5 trilogies in single-volume ombnibus hardcover editions. Don't know if they're still available, but I suspect they turn up on eBay if they exist.

Regards,

Joe

They are from the science fiction book club but the only way you can get them now is through ebay,amazon or barnes and noble .I got one from the latter technomage I think,Psi corps came from a comic store and the other amazon.

You're saying that it might be possible to get more copies of the paperbacks I already have, through Amazon or Barnes & Noble, not the omnibus hardcover editions, correct?

I should've bought them. No hits at Science Fiction Book Club today.

That's the only hardcover editions I know of are the ombinus editions by the science fiction book club edition .What else did you think I was refering to ?Keep dreaming about realeasing indiviual ones. If you want indiviual copies of each book then make it yourself .I was only making suggestions and the only hardcovers I know of are the science fiction book club editions.

If I want individual copies of each paperback in each of the three trilogies, all I have to do is re-buy them at Amazon, WaldenBooks, Barnes & Noble, Borders or elsewhere. I want each of the three trilogies as one book each, in hardback, i.e. the onmibus editions. Reason: The hardbacks would not degrade as fast as the pulp paperbacks, and would be sturdier.

You said:

Presumably the "they" and "them" are referring to the omnibus editions (hardback), because you linked "they" and "them" with "the science fiction book club." BUT then you go on to say:

Quote:

... is through ebay,amazon or barnes and noble.

Hence my

confusion

about amazon or barnes and noble having the omnibus editions.

Quote:

I thought ONLY the Science Fiction Book Club EVER handled the omnibus editions of the Psi Corps, Legions of Fire, and Technomage trilogies.

So, do you think:

Quote:

...was unambiguous?

I did but there could have been a few extra words in there to make it more clear. I'd've written it:

"They are from the science fiction book club but the only way you can get them now is as used books through ebay,amazon or barnes and noble . (and then the message continues to explain where that poster got his/her copies.
