A couple of months ago I bought duplicates of my paperback Vlad Taltos books, now that they were available in omnibus versions. But the other day, while reading _Sethra Lavode_, I wanted to look up something from _The Lord of Castle Black_, and looked high and low to find my copy. This was irritating as when Steve's books started coming out in hardback, that's how I bought them. But I went out and bought a paperback copy just to have one. (And I am one who skims through when Steven is having fun with Paarfi's stylistic issues - I don't share his enjoyment). Why can't I survive without a copy until I find my hard back copy?
