Very sweet of her!! Happy face now! 15 years ago I got book 1 and 2 and its in A-4 size copy and I liked that. However now its in smaller version copies..well I can't fault anything as due to material cost etc.<br /><br />Anyway I am so happy! Waited for so long. Just wondering would the other book 7 to 12 be out? If you need help on this, let us know I am sure all of us would do our best for it!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692852421664657114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-4932960712251576182013-11-25T11:40:54.089+00:002013-11-25T11:40:54.089+00:00It's there now, Andrew.

And Amazon owns Createspace, so you would think it should be quite straightforward.

I saw this post last week and was inspired to order Court of Hidden Faces and write a review for book 1. I'm currently trying to more thoroughly play through books 2-4 so I can write proper reviews for them, too. I like them so much that I'm looking for some library quality contact paper to cover them with.

The new books also have grey halftones on the maps, which we weren't able to do with Books 1-4.

I did manage to find the original Book 6 on Amazon (it's not easy, you can't just do a search of "fabled lands morris" and expect it to show up) and there are about a dozen reviews.
