Thanks Mervi!

Lookie what I found! An original Boiled in Lead t-shirt that was made to promote Songs from the Gypsy!
I'm terribly tempted to bid on it, too.

Oh, and Nyutsia, someone's now selling another copy of the Voyager 5 booklet. The starting price is lower, but still I think quite a lot. I guess people are starting to realize that the Hobb story in it won't be such a rare gem next year as it used to be!

Thanks for thinking of me!

[[Songs from the Gypsy]] is an album that is a kind of soundtrack to the book [[The Gypsy]] written by Megan Lindholm and Steven Brust.

Ahh I HAD heard of that, I just didn't connect the dots!!
Thanks for clearing that up

ML books, The Windsinger, Alien Earth and Wizard of the Pigeons, are available on ebay.com.au here (current bid for all three is $9.50AUD).

The books are in "acceptable" condition but are being sold by a seller with 100% positive feedback. Bidding ends in 5 days and 19 hours (27th April at 9:51:12 AEST)

EDIT: What I am truly impressed about here is that fact that Robin's Aussie fans have stayed true to her...I have not yet seen a single copy of The Inheritance, signed or otherwise, being put up for auction on eBay - good one mates!!

From what I can determine, there is currently a used copy of The Fantasy Medley available here on Amazon.com for only US$22.89. A bargain considering the next closest is US$92.74.

I've never purchased anything second-hand from Amazon before so not sure exactly how that works?

For those who don't know, The Fantasy Medley contains Robin's RotE-related short story 'Words Like Coins' (my favourite of her short stories other than 'Homecoming').

You just order like you normally do, the shipping is just not handled by Amazon but by the 3rd party seller.

Thanks joost.

Not sure if any of you would be interested but there is a hardback copy of Assassin's Apprentice currently available here on eBay at the moment (second-hand but like new from Australia, Buy It Now for $12.00AUD).

Before you get too excited, thinking it's a first edition or something, it's actually a Voyager 15th Anniversary Edition so only came out this year. I picked up mine when I was at SupaNova...I figured that one can never have too many copies of AA! I can't remember what I paid for mine...around the $30 mark, I think?
