Jason: I'd suggest not reading the mailing list archives, since there are times when people forgot to spoiler protect stuff from the books you haven't read. Also, you may want to unsubscribe at the end of March, since April will bring tons of mails with _Sethra Lavode_ spoilers. BTW, were you aware that _Brokedown Palace_ is also a Dragaera novel? Note to everyone else on the list: Jason hasn't read LOCB nor _Issola_, so remember to spoiler protect those. > First of all, does anyone know when Tor is going to release > the Omnibus "The Book of Dragon" (Dragon/Issola) or whether > they even have plans to do so? Probably not. Tor has yet to publish any omnibuses of Brust. The _Book of *_ are from Ace, who apparently still holds the rights to the first 7 Vlad novels. That said, the SFBC did publish an omnibus, titled _Dragon and Issola_. If you don't want to join the bookclub, you may be able to find a copy used (I like www.bookfinder.com for finding stuff). > Secondly, does anyone know about the existence of Hardcover > versions of Tor's Omnibus "The Book of > Jhereg/Taltos/Athyra"?

I'm pretty sure those hardcovers are SFBC editions (they usually don't bother assigning new ISBNs for stuff like that). --KG
