  1. Great news. I hope they print some new, non-embarrassing covers. That edition of Night’s Master shown in the post is prob the most respectable it’s gotten so far, and its still got a naked lass on there.

  2. Some of my favorite books of all time.

    As far as covers, I’m still a fan of Dulac on Night’s Master, and Michael Whelan did some great ones for later volumes. I also wish that Taleka/Norilana had been able to complete the series of hardcover reissues they started a few years back (and I really wish they hadn’t misspelled “Delirium” on the cover of Delirium’s Mistress.

  3. Oh, cool. I haven’t read them in a long time. I hunted down the old DAW(?) books for cheap some years back, so I’ve only got them in the slowly decaying paperback medium.
