Is the omnibus version possible to get a hold of, or is it out of print?

and why is the "hells half acre" paperback so damn pricy while "KMJ" and "PD" are sold for reasonable prices? Did they release fewer paperbacks of "HHA" or?

please enlighten me Smile

I have the skull covers hardcover set. The Hardcover of Hell's is only $10.20 on amazon.

The hardcover is small, too, about the size of a paperback. It's not a regular hardcover.

Yeah, it looks like the omnibus version is out-of-print.

I bought a copy for a girlfriend once; if I only knew where she lived, I'd kick in her door, and demand she send you her copy. But alas, she-devils are hard to track...

you don't really want the paperback of hell's half acre anyway. when it was printed, they omitted the last chapters - it ends randomly and abruptly.

i personally prefer the way it ends, where it leaves things, but that's my preference on the poe narrative - get the hardcover and you get the whole story.

yeah, you must get the hardcover. you need the full ending, i can't imagine how annoyed i would've been if it cut out a whole chapter early. i have no idea why on the earth they decided to do that, whether it was accidental or what, but it's fucking dumb. and i really like the paperback cover art, too. jerks.

I don't know why but they don't sell Kiss Me, Judas in hardcover anymore. You'll have to get that one used if you want them all to match.

I was wondering the same thing. I ordered the trilogy on Amazon a few days ago and I wanted them all in paperback, but I was forced to get HHA in hardcover. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure it will annoy me once they get here.

so annoying. they are the best fucking covers, too. especially the HHA one. it has a broad in a g-banger on it. i'm fucking dirty on the publishers. i think i might buy it anyway, and just have a hardcover set, and a paperback set. greedy?
