You had an Eva Ibbotson omnibus? Wow… I’m so envious I can hardly type. If you tell me it was of her adult work, I’m going to have to go away and cry. Then I’ll finish with a hex on the fool who made off with my copy of ‘Countess Below Stairs’, and feel marginally better.

Oh how funny, I was just talking to your Australian editor Christine (at a family Xmas do, she’s Martin’s cousin) today about a) magic’s child and b) how much I hope Undine will end up as an omnibus.

Congratulations, fabulous news. I want one! Be March now.

Thanks, all! The nicest thing about it is how completely unexpected it was. Didn’t cross my mind this was even a possiblity.

Congratulations!

While the obsessive collector in me prefers to own the first editions (when they are hardcover), there are so many advantages to omnibus editions…

The best thing about the omnibus for series works is the idea of getting the whole story in one place, of course.

And I have some sentimental omnibus memories as well, including my introduction to John D. MacDonald in omnibus form while I wandered around Europe in my teens.

Oh Justine that is so awesome! I am deeply jealous. I love those 3-in-1 collections, as they always made me *much* less nervous I’ll run out of book to read in transit. Congrats!
