Diane, I agree with the others that it would make no economic sense
not to release a paperback (and ESPECIALLY to only issue the 7th in a
box set). But it does actually make sense to make people BELIEVE that
there won't be a paperback edition. The clerk's drumming up business
for his own bookstore. Bloomsbury are far too big to make such an
obvious economical mistake. Of course, the delay might be great - are
you going to borrow someone else's until then?
