   Squee! Patricia Veryan in digital. But why only some of them? Why no “Practice” or “Journey” or “Poor Splendid Wings”?

   OMG, I have an enormous stack of the complete Tyler series in my paperback closet. I loved that series at the time; looks like a re-read may be on the agenda to see how they’ve aged.

   Thanks for this Jane! The new Robert Galbraith/J. K. Rowling book, Career Of Evil, is also out today.

   I haven’t read Patricia Veryan. My question is way 7.99 for the reprints? I’d like to give them a try, but that’s a little pricey.

   @Sandy: For those of us who had to slowly put together our print collections, one or two books at a time and pay this or more for some of them, easy access for so many of her titles is wonderful. But since Veryan died years ago and has no living children, I do wonder who’s getting rich off these.

   $7.99 is a lot for the Veryan books, and I’m trying to stick to a book diet . . . Who am I kidding? Click.

   @Sandy: Before you take the plunge and buy any of these, here’s a guide to the titles in each series. http://mandry.net/veryan/series.html

   I’ve known people who’ve read them out of order and didn’t think it affected their enjoyment but the first two series – Golden Chronicles and the Jewelled Men – do build as they go along. I haven’t read the Sanguinet series so I can’t speak for reading order for it.
