Viriconium by M. John Harrison

Hey everyone.
I just had a question about this book. Unless I'm mistaken, it seems to be out of print (at least in the US) and the only thing I could find on Amazon was this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...002-0684514-9380821?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
Sounds like it won't come out until October 25. Is it a rerelease or new edition? Does it contain all four of the works? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's available from Amazon's UK store for £6.39 ($12?). Click here, though with shipping added on, it would double the cost...

The edition you've linked to must contain all four works as it's pushing 500 pages.

It contains the 4 main novels of the Viriconium sequence, The Pastel City, A Storm of Wings, Viriconium Nights and In Viriconium, with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. I think it was just a re-release though.

Seeing how the question was asked in June, it wouldn't have been in print then.

No matter, what editiom, it's without question one of the 5 great sequences in SF/F history IMHO, when collected. Harrison is nothing less than one of the most talented writers in the business.
