Reprints of hard to find books
I spent years scouring used book stores for Will Shetterly's 'Elsewhere', only to find it in the 'new' book section. I thought I would start a thread to list hard-to-find mythopoeic books that have been reprinted recently, so people who have spent years searching for them will realize that they are now easily available.
The ones I've seen are:
Ellen Kushner's 'Swordspoint' & 'Thomas the Rhymer'
Patricia Wrede/ Caroline Stevermer(sp?) 'Sorcery & Cecelia'
Will Shetterly's 'Nevernever' & 'Elsewhere'
Emma Bull 'Finder' & 'War for the Oaks'
Robert Holdstock's 'Mythago Wood' & 'Lavondyss'
Patricia McKillip's Riddlemaster trilogy was reprinted as a trade
paperback (all 3 books in 1)
Any others that I've missed?

Re: Reprints of hard to find books
A great to place to look for similar titles and authors is at www.firebirdbooks.com. Sharyn November has been resurrecting many beloved books for a new young adult audience, but we older fans also benefit. I was thrilled to finally read Pamela Dean's Secret Country trilogy and Sherwood Smith's Wren trilogy. Charles de Lint, Robin McKinley, Patricia A. McKillip and Sylvia Engdahl are other authors reappearing under this imprint.
Thanks, Sharyn!

Firebird reprints
Thanks for the link to the Firebird site - I had noticed some of the reprints in the stores, but I didn't realize they all came from the same company. I already have most of the books they are reprinting, but I wrote down all the titles I don't have yet, and I'm ordering the 'Firebirds' anthology from Amazon.com
It is great to see that the older mythopoeic books aren't going to be forgotten.

Firebirds anthology
The Firebirds anthology is really excellent. Some terrific stories in there. I think my favorite may be "Little Dot" by Diana Wynne Jones.

Re: Firebirds anthology
I'd love my CARDS IF GRIEF to be reissued, but I think it's too adult and sfinal.

Re: Firebirds anthology
I don't know what the status of Tanith Lee's "Red As Blood" anthology is--Terri mentioned a long while back that a new anthology including that original collection was being considered--but I know that it would be a thrill for lots of fans to see it reissued. Then there is Pat Wrede's "Snow White and Rose Red."
I know there's more, but I am drawing a blank on a Saturday night.

reprints
Ooooh, I'm thrilled to see the Pamela Dean trilogy back in print. My other favorite trilogy is the New Moon trilogy by Midori Snyder. Is that going to be reprinted I hope?

Re: reprints
I have to thank Sharyn November as well. What a fantastic set of imprints you have. I work at a large chain bookseller (made a deal with the devil I think on that one). At any rate another bookseller and I just love the Firebird imprints and to see the Borderland books back on the shelves we are beside ourselves in happiness.
I'm not sure any of the books I would recommend are necessarily teen titles but definately ones I would like to see back in print. I love anything by Nina Kiriki Hoffman and would love to see a Red Heart of Memories back in print as well as Pamela Dean's Tam Lin.
