Copies Of The Saga

My copies of Baen Books' The Technic Civilization Saga are falling apart and turning to powder so I enquired about replacing them but our main bookshop in Lancaster cannot get them. 

After years of rereading and blogging, certain information is now indelibly engraved on my brain.

Saga, Volume I, collects one previously uncollected instalment and ten from three earlier collections:

1 (of 3) from Trader To The Stars;
2 (of 3) from The Trouble Twisters;
7 (of 12), including one novel, from The Earth Book Of Stormgate.

Vol II collects:

2 from Trader To The Stars;
1 from The Trouble Twisters;
3 from the Earth Book;
1 novel.

Vol III:

2 from the Earth Book;
2 novels;
2 other stories.

Vol IV:

the three Young Flandry novels.

After that, it becomes more complicated.

Easily the best future history series, in my opinion.

Kaor, Paul!

If you go to the Baen Books website I think you can order replacement copies by snail mail.

I only have RISE OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE and FLANDRY'S LEGACY because I already had all but one of the Technic stories ("Sargasso") in other, mostly hard cover editions.

Sean,

Sure. I'll probably get round to online ordering.

Good! Too bad those Baen Books editions are not hard backs.
