Owner of my comic/book store way back when (Bill Hatfield, Novel Ideas, Gainesville, FL. Has since been driven out of business by the city over some truly idiotic obscenity charges. But I digress.) had two books with a "money-back if you don't like it" guarantee. _Taltos_ was one, _Pawn of Prophecy_ (Eddings) was the other. Not too long ago, google'd for Brust, found the website, found the mailing list link. Invited myself along. Have since noticed I lent _Athyra_ out several years ago. Damnit.
