I think all the ML books are all now in reprint - or will be by April 2011 according to Amazon. Looking forward to these.

I am looking for the Words like coin short story.
Well,
the A fantasy medley is too expensive for me (I could buy the City of dragon three and a half times from it), and I'm wondering if the story appears in some other anthology?RE: Searching for... - fool-ish - May-07-2012

No, KekPafrany, Words Like Coins can only be found in A Fantasy Medley and I can fully see why most would not be in your price-range.
I own it as I bought it when it was first released, and for not very much money either. I have since lent it out to a fellow Aussie mate from Robin's Newsgroup (and am anxiously, and I do mean anxiously as I think about it every day, hoping I get it back soon...if I don't, I thankfully know where this friend both lives and works, and I warned her of the same before I sent the book!
*waves* Hi Lou! 
). I don't care about its dollar worth. I love the Words Like Coins story!I actually also need it so that I can complete my WLC-related articles in the wiki.

Thank you.
Well, it seems to me, I can only hope that there will be some other anthology in the future.

All cost far more than my budget will allow.Martin is currently writing a fourth story in the Dunk&Egg series. When this is finished, the plan is to release a book with the first four stories collected.
Anyway, here are some cheap(ish) versions of the anthologies with the first D&E stories.
The hedge knight: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Legends-Discworld-Memory-Sorrow-Thorn/dp/0006483941/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336469694&sr=8-1
The sworn sword: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Legends-II-Dragon-Sword-King/dp/1435291131/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1336469829&sr=1-2
The mystery knight: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warriors-1-George-R-Martin/dp/0765360268/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336469829&sr=1-4
I'm lucky enough to have the hardcover version of all three anthologies

Ebook is more than fine to me
I downloaded the sample and it works in my reader. The title format is ungainly, but everything seems fine, I will buy it.
RE: Searching for... - Farseer - May-14-2012
Nice spotting, KekPafrany!!!
Hobb fans the world over will be pleased!
I hope you all enjoy it...I know I love it!
I just tried to purchase it (despite the fact that I own the book already) but it's only available for those with a US billing address.
