Lucia in Wartime

I read all the M & L books several years ago, then purchased the videos. I was thrilled to find out about Tom Holt's two additions to the series and read Lucia Triumphant which I recall as a brilliant conclusion to the series. Took me forever to get my hands on Lucia in Wartime--it was $90 for a while, and I grabbed it when it got down to $30 from Amazon. It was in pretty poor condition, paperback, crumbly. Anyone know why it is so expensive? Worth every penny, though. . . .

The reason they are both pricey and difficult to get hold of is that sadly they are out of print, which equally sadly seems to be almost synonymous with being a good book these days.

I am hoping to speak to Tom Holt in the next week or so and will try to persuade him to post a message here.
