One of the best things about e-books is that readers can still find books like these, they aren't lost in out-of-print limbo.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-81813240462448238312013-05-30T17:27:34.662-05:002013-05-30T17:27:34.662-05:00And here's a Dorothy Dunnett Society link to a...And here's a Dorothy Dunnett Society link to all the Kindle Dollys from Amazon.com:<br />http://astore.amazon.com/dunnett-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=7<br /><br />And the same for Amazon.co.uk:<br />http://astore.amazon.co.uk/dunnett-21?_encoding=UTF8&node=13shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087394012634393554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-17778287344113613162013-05-30T17:20:07.258-05:002013-05-30T17:20:07.258-05:00It's available on Kindle from Amazon.com for j...It's available on Kindle from Amazon.com for just under $10.shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087394012634393554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-33264744897991190832013-05-29T22:12:31.581-05:002013-05-29T22:12:31.581-05:00elizabeth, they make me want to head straight for ...elizabeth, they make me want to head straight for the water (50 miles down to Galveston), though sadly I don't know anyone with a boat like Dolly.

I think you'd enjoy the different settings too.<br /><br />Sandra, it's this book (Paradise) and the last one, Moroccan Traffic (aka Send a Fax to the Kasbah). I think the last US reprinting was in the 1980s, with Vintage. I do see copies of those around sometimes.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-56806649040591904972013-05-29T18:51:40.089-05:002013-05-29T18:51:40.089-05:00Which are the two that are connected, and that are...Which are the two that are connected, and that are the end of the series?

I'm looking forward to trying one (after I've finished King Hereafter).Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618973352348296555noreply@blogger.com
