Insurrection and Nemesis novelizations

Okay, last resort, as I can't seem to find copies anywhere or even confirm if they were ever printed... Given the number of writers and people who'd know around here, here's my question:

Are there mass-market paperback editions of the novelizations of Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis out there? Or just the hardcovers?

Those novelizations were banned shortly after hardcover publication. However, it was soon discovered that a cult had arisen from the depths of anonymity, sworn to search eternally for the mythical paperback reprints:

PRIEST: "And Madden came aboard as the first officer."
CONGREGATION: "Nice seatbelts, Captain."

By the middle of the 21st century, all copies of the novelization were collected and dumped on the forbidden planet Omega 3, along with all copies of The Prometheus Design and all those fanzines where Kirk and Spock get it on.

Thus, they were forever scoured from memory.

Amen.

(Well, this is the story I'm telling from now on.)

Galaxy Bookshop, here in Sydney, still has a new MMPB international edition of "Nemesis" on the shelf. I was very tempted to buy one to sit at the end of my "A Time..." series, but I only rebuy a ST book if it contains new information.

I have a feeling the "Insurrection" international paperback may have been trade size, not MMPB. (I know there was both sizes available in PB for "First Contact".)
 
:/ Well, that's disappointing. I found the international mmpb for First Contact, but I haven't had any luck turning up the other two. Thanks for the help though - even you, Ward. I can *completely* buy that as the Official Explanation (tm).
