Help finding Gene Wolfe books

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The Pocket Books editions of the four volumes of The Book of the New Sun -
THE SHADOW OF THE TORTURER, THE CLAW OF THE CONCILIATOR, THE SWORD OF THE
LICTOR, and THE CITADEL OF THE AUTARCH - are out of print.  SOLDIER OF THE
MIST isn't part of the Book of the New Sun, or even related to the series.

In October and November, the Book of the New Sun will return to print in
North America in two trade paperback omnibus volumes from Orb: SHADOW AND
CLAW (ISBN 0-312-89017-6) and SWORD AND CITADEL (ISBN 0-312-89018-6).
