What is the best way to acquire readable copies of Ellison’s short stories?
Amazon prices look extremely high at hundreds of dollars per copy. By readable, I mean books with font sizes larger than size 6 so a probably editions published after 1990. Is there a better name for these readable non-1970s editions?
eBay and thrift books are also good alternatives.
I guess I am surprised prices are so high but I guess many of his books are out of print.
The Essential Ellison 35 year version is reasonably priced and is a fantastic collection of some of his best works. There are also plenty of shorter collections that don’t cost as much on Amazon, and I’ve also had good success finding his works in used bookstores.
The local used book store just closed. I will have to travel out a bit further.
The 35-year retrospective is excellent but not portable for the commute.
Maybe a road trip is needed or some careful hunting on eBay.
Gotcha, yeah it’s not very portable. Good luck!
