Hey everyone/anyone...  Does anyone know why, after being released for only like three years, Lake of the Long sun is now out of print?  It's not like it flopped or anything.  Anyway, I'm here in RURAL Japan so Internet purchasing is pretty much what I'm limited to... but is TOR going to do a reissue or something?  In the meanwhile how do I buy one?

Thanks so much, I hope someone still reads this list...
Tony

I know Tor Books is out-of-stock of _Nightside the Long Sun_, which means it's
nearly impossible for me to get it. Incidentally, if anyone can look in their
local bookstores for Nightside, I'll send 'em money for it and some extra.
Gene Wolfe's books go out of print far too fast: Peace, Free Live Free, and
Soldier of the Mist are some examples.

There's quite a crowd here, so many people are reading your message(s).

At least the trend seems to be to eventually put them into Orb.  I wish they'd
do ENDANGERED SPECIES (which has some of my favorite stories...)
