K. Chesterton. But, given that such a thing may not happen in my lifetime, I would at least like it if I could get Archipelago or Dotty for say, less than $400.

I have hopes it'll one day be available at an expensive, but still reasonable, price for either a nice matching set or, as you say, a one volume omnibus. The Devil is Dead genuinely works as a standalone and is by far the most 'pop' of the volumes, so I'm sure it'll remain widely available in paperback etc.Daniel Otto Jack Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278782665152906956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904298510069073946.post-62713785008397728412016-02-25T05:11:09.208-08:002016-02-25T05:11:09.208-08:00If only someone would republish the whole cycle.
