Greetings,

Go to Ebay if you like paper copies and like the original cover artwork.

All the original first and second printings are available there and many are just an average 5-10 dollars, especially books 1-10. Some like Magicians of Gor are higher. I have seen 10-15 book sets go for less than 40 dollars.

I did get all mine on Ebay and I bid for a few at a time as my budget allowed. Worked for me and I enjoy the cover art on the old books.

I have over 200 books to spare that I can sell. I paid about $10 ea for them, back in the day. However, they are cheaper on ebay nowadays. Your best bet is to collect all you can from ebay and hit me up for the few you are missing. (write to "everhope" here at collarme, I rarely get my mail from the other side)

How did I end up with 200 books?
It all started when I was collecting those books to assemble a pristine collectors set of 1st editions. I slowly became fascinated with the publishing history of these funky little scifi books and noticed the artwork and cover text updates as some went through dozens of reprints. I set a task for my office manager on Fridays to scan ebay and buy all the gor books from all the reprints and countries I was missing. As the years went by, I ended up with over 500 books logging the evolution of artwork and text changes on the covers in several countries.

I wanted to share my interest and what I learned about the evolution of the Gor series with the community. So I scanned the covers into a web site, logged the publishing data and started building an online museumofgor.com (closed now). After giving many sets as gifts at weddings, collarings and Christmas, the remaining 200+ books are bagged, boxed and stored in my garage.

Umm calling them and asking them would probably get you an answer faster and more accurately than any discussion board. Just a thought.

I believe they are also going out of business so you may be able to get some good deals if they have them. You can also check barnesandnoble.com i think it is, and see if they have the Gorean books and usually anything online they can ship to the stores.

Unless someone actually bought them recently at the B&N you go too, you won't get an accurate assessment of whether they do or don't. Call the store.

Tis Border's that has filed Chapter 11. As for B&N you can probably find the reprints, or hunt EBay, or contact those of us that have spares to sell.
Believe there are 2-3 others beside myself that have made known copies available.
