Is there any particular reason why Slings & Arrows isn't available in a collected omnibus edition, like Mere Anarchy is?
Why no Slings & Arrows omnibus?
- Thread starter Mr. Laser Beam
- Start date
Ok just taking a guess here but omnibus be all stories in on book?
^ Yep.
The trade paperback collections of eBooks (of which there are only three left now, two Corps of Engineers and S&A) will be published when there's a good spot on the schedule for them (like, say, in a summer when four mass-markets are yanked at the last minute *wry grin*).
two CoE? i thought there was only one..?
I'm mainly interested in an E-book omnibus, I assume this would come out at the same time the paper version does?
Well, there are 8 novellas left (those published after the rebranding), so I guess we'll eventually get two Trades with four stories each.
As Defcon said, there are eight eBooks left, and the word count on some of them is considerable. No way we'd be able to squeeze all eight into one book, so they'll be done as two books.
At least that's the plan.
The first four would be in Turn the Page, the latter four in Remembrance of Things Past.

I thought there were only six in the Slings & Arrows series...
I thought there were only six in the Slings & Arrows series...KRAD's referring to the SCE books. there's eight of them left.
. I've been waiting for that series for what seems like forever
But *I* wasn't, and I started the thread!
My question stands, by the way. Mere Anarchy got an omnibus, so why not Slings?

And Keith's answer to your question stands:
^ No, it doesn't. He was talking about ALL ebooks, including CoE and all that. I only meant the six Slings & Arrows books. Those are the only ones I'm interested in right now. And as I keep saying, Mere Anarchy already got an omnibus, so why not this?
^Yes, Keith was talking about all eBooks including Slings and Arrows. The answer for S&A is exactly the same as the answer for CoE: There will be an omnibus for it when there is room on the schedule. Remember, Slings and Arrows mostly came out after CoE's last installment. So it makes sense that the omnibuses would be published in a similar order. You'll just have to be patient.
Yes, really, it does.
Mere Anarchy got an omnibus when it did because there was a certain sense to releasing a TOS trade paperback in the spring of 2009. There was this movie, you see....
The final three TPBs of eBooks (the final two COEs and S&A) will be released when there's a good spot in the schedule for them.
KRAD,
Thanks for clearing that up.
Now, will those omnibus versions, whenever they do finally come, will they come out in ebook format as well or just paper form? I have ebook versions of all of the previous SCE omnibuses through "Wounds". Then "Out of the Cocoon" and "What's Past" came out in paper form only and there's been no ebook version of them. I wasn't sure if you guys were taking a different route with these or if maybe the ebook versions had just been delayed.
Someone else pointed out that it would seem silly to come out with ebook versions of paper omnibus versions of previously released ebooks but, you had for all the previous, so...
Anyway, thanks for the info.
