Hello,

I'm interested in obtaining Wolfe's "Castle of the Otter" at a
reasonable price (i.e., not a collector's edition).  Does anyone
know if it ever came out in paperback, or was ever offered by the
Science Fiction Book Club?  (If the latter, do you have the order
number?  I wrote them about this, but received no response.)
Finally, who put out the regular hardcover edition?  Any help will
be appreciated!  Thanks.

Steve Dennett

No, it hasn't.

Yes, it was offered by the SFBC, but I don't have the order number.

Mark Zeising, a dealer in Willimantic, Connecticut. It was a small
press, limited edition publication, since sold out. Zeising was also
the original publisher of two other Gene Wolfe books, THE WOLFE
ARCHIPELAGO and LIVE, FREE, LIVE.
